With no default provided, the most likely
response may very well depend on the
exact phrasing of the prompt (as few
would be expected to read more details
than the headline).
Example phrasing (and my guesses as to
the responses):
* Would you like to help Fedora?
- Many would likely choose yes.
* Would you like to kill a cute puppy?
- Many would likely choose no.
* Are you willing to share your password
for chocolate?
- Sadly, the results of this real world survey
question was ~30% saying yes.
Do you have a proposed wording for the
question that does not, itself, exhibit any
bias?
FWIW, in surveys, creating unbiased questions
is often the hardest thing to get right, as
many languages are annoyingly imprecise, or
the question may itself presume actions/choices,
or may inadvertently contain cultural biases.
For longer surveys one approach sometimes
used is to ask a number of similar questions
and check that the responses are mostly
consistent, but that really does not work when
you are asking a single yes/no unless you
plan to start a multi-question dialog (which
you don't want to do).
