I'm developing a theory about all this 'research' that goes on.

Whenever someone has something to advertise like a security conference, or charity, or tv prog, they pay some cheapo pollsters to conduct a quick 'survey' about some vaguely connected subject.
In this case the survey was."are women bright enough to make up a password to get a free pen/chocalate bar".

I note again that facts have been altered to make a better headline by the ommision of the pen as a free gift.
