So, the chef says to the lobster in the pot: “I’m going to turn the temperature up just a bit. Are you too hot yet?”

Question 2 is a political question.

Question 3 sounds like they are asking for investment advice: I have a good investment advisor if they need one.

The main counterpoint to a bad survey is a better survey. The AMS may wish to do one of its own.

Also, what about the third question?
