I'm trying to keep it simple. Not that the survey will be hard for
people to follow, but it will be hard to draw conclusions if we make
it too complicated.

I'm not an expert in surveys, but I also think that the more
complicated we make it, the more "conclusions" people will be able to
take that match their own bias.

We won't have statistical relevance for dozens of questions, but we
may for no more than one dozen.

I think we can interpret every answer with a name/email to be personal
and just the affiliation to be "company/project/university".

I'll change the initial text to mean that.
