“Undoubtedly one amongst many largest strategies by which by which whereby you framed it and set it up, you successfully pushed of us to reply with a non-zero allocation,” Wüstenfeld wrote. “You say it your self: Individuals are reluctant to set a slider at zero.”
Nakamoto Mission’s Troy Cross acknowledged the framing outcomes, nonetheless acknowledged that the survey nonetheless gave worthwhile outcomes. As an illustration, youthful of us favored elevated allocations, whereas girls actually useful smaller allocations than males.
