I didn't feel comfortable filling out the survey because I hadn't tried out most of the techniques.

I think CronoDAS mentioned something about how he would be a lot more motivated to try techniques if he knew it was in the name of SCIENCE. Perhaps we could organize something like that? I don't know if it would be better if we all tried one technique at once or were randomly assigned techniques using an automated system that would gradually learn what the the best techniques were and assign them more often.
