Absolutely. There's a ton of analysis left to do. I'll add that to the list though. :) pb
Let's give the Foundation and the committee who made this survey every benefit of the doubt. Let's presume they truly and sincerely thought that the idea of this image filter was entirely uncontroversial, and that it would have near-universal support once the details are worked out. That the survey was so rife with methodological problems that – unavoidably – biased any result strongly towards something that looks superficially supportive of the feature yet still renders a highly mitigated result should signal an immediate "all stop" to forging ahead blindly with this idea.
What I'd expect now from the committee/WMF is an acknowledgement that the image filter is nowhere near the no-brainer they imagined it to be, and a commitment to not do any further work towards implementation until a real community discussion has taken place. Further, at least some signal that they even allow for the possibility that this may not be a workable idea in the first place.
