I disagree with
you, E-Rewards has more sponsors than ever before, and information isn't "bad" if it looks valid.
Whether people want to lie on surveys is their own choice - it's not stealing as you are providing them the information they want, whether or not its the correct information. You still spent the hour completing the survey, being careful as to not set off a disqualification question. And as long as you complete the survey honestly, not writing "jnisonsoisnoisnoisn" in a response box, and instead writing things like "I prefer this because it sounds like it would suit my business purposes better than my current provider. We're expanding right now and we need to stick with the best, and what you are providing seems like its a lot better than what we are with right now", etc.
If someone wants to pretend to be a CEO and can tell the market researchers what they want to hear, then both the market researchers and the person completing the survey are happy. And in the end, those who stretch the truth (and those who are actually in that demographic) will have 10,000 more miles in their account than you will have.
