MODERATORS
And good researchers know how to control for that.
edit: typo
There’s no control when there’s no way to verify the accuracy of what people are telling you. You can’t verify their income, race, age, social status, truthfulness of answers (a recent problem was people not admitting they were Trump fans in 2016).
I didn't say that it was easy.
