I'm imagining some kind of super-egoic presence showing up as a confound in the responses here, where the respondent is aware of the impoliticness of their authentic opinion and so gives a distorted or even contradictory response on a later question after the impolitic response.

does it make a difference what order they answer in? like if they first answer "I believe that the government favoring my firm is good" first does that make them more likely to respond to a later question with "free markets are good and we should have less favoritism"?
