on a normal population yes; but these are people selected for their ability to make comments on the internet. I was expecting higher.

Ability differs from willingness, and public comments on the internet differ from survey responses.

Of course, somewhere in my head they had a closeness to them, being related on the "participate in lesswrong things" axis. Hence an expectation of interest/participation/motivation to respond.
