I agree that one question cannot provide anything like a nuanced assessment of your political outlook. However, in many countries, including the countries most likely to provide respondents to the survey, that single question is very predictive of eventual voting.
Precisely. The question assumes that the person is a voter. The question assumes that the person approves of central authority in principle. The block size debate is firmly about how best to protect Bitcoin against the possible emergence of central authority.
I don't doubt this question's predictive power regarding election outcomes. The survey neatly ignores conscientious non-voters exactly as an election itself does.
If none of those options represents you you could pick moderate. It'd be a pity not to fill out the rest just because of that. It's hard to be perfectly inclusive in forms when it comes to the political spectrum, participants just pick the closest.
It is as though the question: "Which of the following best describes your diet: beef-eater; pork-eater; chicken-eater; general meat-eater" was lifted from PorkFest and asked to a group with a relatively large number of vegetarians. There really isn't a sensible closest option.
