Especially a "survey" as poorly worded as this one.  It's too much
of an all-or-nothing thing; anyone who would be quite happy if the
aperture simulator returned, but doesn't regard it as a big deal
(which, IMO, is the vast majority of the entire Pentax user base)
doesn't really have a way to express that viewpoint.
It's the old "You're either with us, or against us" false dichotomy.
