Right. They have significant side effects but lie on the survey because...? Or maybe you’re saying they refuse to do the survey at all.
But then, why didn’t they lie or refuse in the unnamed information sources you advocated?
Of course I could tell a story where people who don’t have side effects forget about the survey and don’t bother to report their absence of side effects, but you’re going to like your story better, so that makes your story the true one. And also the size of the bias you’re assuming exists would have to be enormous, but whatever.
