I'm surprised nobody noticed the key part of the joke - how survey is interpreted: "...favorite restaurant...".
"Lies, damned lies, and statistics".

Is Dilbert related to Sheldon?
On another topic, the waiter ends filling the survey himself, which is the situation of every surveyor ever.

Dilbert is an engineering extreme: he can only conceive in binary (yes/no, true/false), while real engineers (myself included) can perceive gray areas -- until they are quantified into statistical uncertainty, that is.

How to apply a gray area to this situation:
"Would you...?"
"Maybe. Leave it with me and go refill her drink."
Problem solved, and the latter part keeps his date from thinking he's indecisive.

We once had a follow-up survey at work asking if anyone found the previous survey useful. They were going to do a survey asking why no one answered the follow-up, but thought better of it.

that's scary, I'd do probably the same.... this thing of thinking a lot must be a typical engineer's disease.
