Yes.. there's this thing called trust. They are relying on that when ambushed with complex policy questions that they neither have the time or inclination to reasonably evaluate.
The point of the exercise was to determine if people judge policy based on the politician/party that proposes it, or if they judge policy based on the merits of the policy itself.
How else would you test for that?
The politician that proposes the policy is completely irrelevant to the policy itself. It's unnecessary information. The use of unnecessary information in a problem statement is used on every high school standardized test. I guess this just illustrates the idiocracy of the average liberal as they are unable to discard the tertiary information and form their own opinion based on the relevant data.
