It occurs to me that any poll we run might be biased due to hypotheses being told to people before they answer the poll. Like, if I'm not sure if I think I have an epiphany addiction, and then I read that such are hypothetically associated with author X, then... well, I'm not sure how it changes my answer, but I know it makes it hard for me to feel like I'm answering fairly.
