Under-reporting can result from concealing the truth or failing to remember, while over-reporting is most often caused by exaggeration of the truth or a general yea-saying tendency.
If they say yea or nay in any way that differs from their master's intentions, they can be removed from the commission.
This supports the initial concern that yea saying might be more of a problem in countries that do not have a history of open elections or citizens voting on referenda.
If we had extreme yea-saying, everyone would have said yes and there would be no explanatory power of our independent variables.
We believe this result may be due to excessive yea saying at high bid amounts in the dichotomous choice question formats.
We can rule out extreme yea-saying since we have 50 per cent who say no to the start bid and these are not random.
It provides irrefutable evidence and avoids a situation in which one person says yea and the other nay.
