"Mail the postcard" surveys have their own problems. Adding an
innocuous question with answer obviously unknown to the interviewer
is one way of increasing anonymity, even with a numbered postcard or
a face-to-face interviewer. I think it's clever. Since it adds
known noise to lessen error, I suppose it's analogous to dithering
for improving printing.
