Re: RDF* and SPARQL* study

While this public response that ought to be private is unfortunate, it 
tells that there should be a discussion about the questionnaire, after 
the deadline for answering it is passed. There's much bias in the 
questions that strongly pushes the respondent to choose certain answers, 
when in reality, opposite answers could be reasonable in certain situations.

I'm not going to give any detail and any further comments about it, 
though, until the questionnaire is closed.
