I’ve been to a number of market research conferences where the following argument has been raised in defense of  methodologies that some people deem questionable:

  1. I’m going to save at least $100 every year by keeping any wallets or phones that I find. (Shoot, I could have had a new Android phone last week!)
  2. I’m going to get at least 3 free pairs of gloves and 1 free umbrella every year by not telling departing transit passengers that they’ve dropped something.
