My assumption is that if there were responders who didn't know what a book was, they'd report they were undecided.
Did I say anywhere that the survey mentioned people anywhere in the world or had anything to do with plumbing?
I was simply expounding on your inference that one did not have to have experience with both subjects of the survey to have a preference.

I would assume if they didn't know what a book was they would say "what is a book?" if the were old enough to talk, but I know where assumptions lead us at times I also assume that the surveyor would disqualify them, but I would not bet on that. I also would assume to be actually undecided one would at least have to have some knowledge to base a decision or lack of decision upon, but again probably an unwarranted assumption.
