Therefore, every study has been wrong.

While I agree that some attempt should be made to explain the data, it's a bit much to say it's "wrong". There's no real fault in just reporting the results you actually got without speculation, and there might well be a good explanation.

in general I mistrust surveys to give accurate data.

That is a good heuristic.
