Technically theres always a bias of the most amusing answer so the "no" would be close to 5% at a minimum.
Sounds like the lizardman constant
That was an amazing read, thanks!
Oof I didn't know that was a Scott Alexander thing
Why oof? O.o
Yep, no survey get 0.2% of any kind of response.
0.2% of surveys get some kind of 0.2% response, especially if the survey is about statistics.
that's not how it works. That's not how anything works!
Percentile of a variable != level of that percentile.
Pffft, only 0.2% of people understand surveys anyway.
It's also been shown that people often are bad a reporting accurately. So, your results may not be accurate just from that.
Which means 0.2% lied
Or some portion of people generally prefer throwing surveys in the trash, but for unknown reasons decided to complete that one.
At least 0.2% lied.
Or they retrieved the survey from the bin, after tossing the former into the latter.
You won't get any customer complaints if you make it impossible for customers to contact you in the first place.

0.2% margin of error.
I think it's safe to assume if they didn't respond they do not love responding to surveys.
It's almost like that's the joke presented in comic form.
Yeah, that's the real answer. 500 responses vs how many sent out
Maybe. But if there were 10000 sent and 500 responses, that still isn't enough information. You would need to know how many were even handled and perceived by the intended recipient.
But maybe you can work around this by canvasing in person rather than fire and forget.
Also there's at least a small set of respondents with fat fingers.
The MNAR crowd knows what’s going on in that survey amiright?
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
