There's some statistics principle about how, like, 5% of people are just fucking around in every survey and will choose absurd answers for fun. I don't remember what it was called though. Big foot's constant? Moon landing principle? Something like that.
Lizardman constant.
There's also web crawlers and survey farms that can (in)advertantly influence results.
