I do not accept it as an explanation. You
decided the first survey was tainted based
solely on the results. You have no direct
proof of the tainting: you have no logged
intruders in your database, no users voting
several times from one account, no hundreds
of users registered from one IP address in a
hour, etc.
Publish the results and let us to see was it
tainted or not.
