"A slightly higher percentage"? More like: no correlation.
I recall that McDonalds were badly burned by "would you X". Would people buy salads? oh god yes, they'd love an opportunity to eat out and stick to their diets. Did they buy salads, once McDonalds had added them? Nope.
Similarly I recall that last US election the Ron Paul Blimp campaign was able to get a lot more chartable pledges than real-world money, and pretty quickly died from underfunding.
Yes, excellent point that should be underlined for the readers here.
People's metaknowledge is very poor. Their knowledge about themselves, especially so.
