> which I suppose makes sense if 30% of people simply lack the ability to reason

You can't really infer that from survey data, and particularly from this question. A few criticisms that I came up with off the top of my head:

- What if the number were actually 60% but half guessed right and half guessed wrong?

- Assuming the 30% is a failure of reasoning, it's possible that those 30% were lacking reason at that moment and it's not a general trend. How many times have you just blanked on a question that's really easy to answer?

- A larger percentage than you expected maybe never went to a car wash or don't know what one is?

- Language barrier that leaked through vetting? (Would be a small %, granted)

- Other obvious things like a fraction will have lied just because it's funny, were suspicious, weren't paying attention and just clicked a button without reading the question.

I do agree that the question isn't framed particularly badly, however. I'm just focusing on cognitive impairment, which I don't think is necessarily true all of the time.
