When it comes to bullsh*t data from focus group sessions, it's not just the moderator's fault, or the skewed questions' fault, or the drugged bowl of free M&Ms;' fault... it's also because of the participants lying their pants off (hey - they were on fire anyway). It seems one of the only redeeming qualities of focus groups is that they look good on the client's bill. The Slate reports here.
