I read this differently.  If you present the user with "click here to
take our survey" they won't.  If you instead present them with "here's
our survey; answer the questions and click here to submit, or here to
not take the survey" you'll get a lot more responses.  It's not that
users don't want to take the survey; it's that laziness wins, and if
you stick an extra click in the way you lose most of them.
