>so I got a human baseline through Rapidata (10k people, same forced choice): 71.5% said drive.

What kind of idiot would say "walk"?

I guess if they were average and above they wouldn't gig at Rapidata. Either that or foreigners with mediocre understanding of the English language. Or some bored teenagers that get their $0.20 or whatever Rapidata pays whatever they click (was it a multiple choice) - the (studied and reported) regression in reading comprehension levels doesn't help either.

Yea, I thought the same before the test and was pretty surprised. But RE the data, it's actually not a gig platform where people get paid. Rapidata answered this in another comment below. They integrate micro-surveys into mobile apps (like Duolingo, games, etc) as an optional opt-in instead of watching ads. The users are vetted and there's no incentive to answer correctly.
