Hey! Haven't gotten through all of them yet, but it was really thoughtful of you to post daily in my absence :) It means a lot. How should I thank you properly?
And you makes a good point here, good example, too... Some material purchases certainly add to or ultimately provide experiences for us! So how would they control for that? It might be hard; perhaps they'd have to change the way they ask their questions somehow. Seeing their methods would be helpful.
Neat thought... Any maybe this could be partly due to the phenomenon that occurs in your example? Smartphones provide all sorts of rewarding (though admittedly cheap) experiences for us. Video chatting, getting attention for Instagram, FB, etc, texting, playing games, etc.
