I think in order for this to really produce useful results (rather than be funny) it needs to actually ask a question, so people have something to think about other than what the poll is really about.
Yes, this might have been a good candidate for shuffling in a bunch of unrelated questions. But this was the first step of “Make it work make it right make it fast”. I figured I could make a first pass at seeing what sorts of results I could get, so I should do so immediately.
Well you only get one shot from the Less Wrong community (we’ll totally know what’s up next time). I’m sure you can get feedback from other communities as well. (If you’re actually getting useful info, you also need the control group poll that doesn’t anchor).
Is it possible to see the results? If not, will it be in the future?
I’ll post the results later.

Has later happened yet?
