The option to self-identify as an expert is more to try and gauge where AFT respondents are coming from, as opposed to excluding non-experts. Average joes are asked to provide comment, and then asked to identify if they are, for whatever reason, *not* average joes.
How far would you go with this? "Are you of the nationality/race/ideology interested in this subject? Are your qualifications FUD, strawhorses, tenure resurrection, staying on the mailing list for pre-release data? Or are you just purely and simply COI'ng the shit out of our processes?"
You will find that we are pretty inured against such approaches.
