That is, if it finds that your responses are sufficient to prove that a necessary being exists, you have a strong result. If it doesn't find that your responses are sufficient to prove that a necessary being exists, then there isn't much of a result (since it might be that your responses are sufficient, but the test isn't sensitive enough to detect that, or that your responses aren't sufficient, or that your responses are sufficient to demonstrate that a necessary being doesn't exist).
One has to wonder why the survey's creator chose to not inform said respondees of the above.
It's not necessarily intentionally dishonest, but one can certainly understand why it might appear so. At a minimum, I believe that it was a sloppy oversight.
