The danger, here, is a classic form of statistical sampling error. Was the question asked of the right population of possible attendees?

Many IETF participants are well-funded, stay for the whole week and like being tourists.

Tourism is fun, but the danger is in tending to force a very narrow 'socio-economic status' demographic for IETF participation.

An example of the problem with the day pass experiment is our tendency to be at venues that discourage one-day attendance.
