It was meant to refer to the Friday morning controversy-
should we have more parallel sessions and end Thursday night,
or fewer parallel sessions and end Friday night,or do what we do
now. We didn't identify the ambiguity until too late.
Sorry about that - it's very hard to get a questionnaire 100%
unambiguous, so we may have to revisit this question another time.

I think people who noticed the difference would have no trouble with
that question - the idea was to see whether it improved interaction
during the sessions.

Yes, well that's why we added a free text box to the questionnaire.
It's hard to design multiple choice questions that can capture subtlety.
