Dave: yes. This means 21% of people are smart. I would tell a random series of letters, get a candy and a kiss, and go away before they find out my password is crap.

That isn't really much of a study... there's no confirmation that anyone gave out a *real* password. Hell, I would have just made something up on the spot. I even have a fake birthday I routinely use for sites that ask for one. Okay, maybe I'm just paranoid, but still... people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.
