I am allergic to flashiness: the idea that a simple Google Forms survey on vacation planning habits can serve as a solid basis for understanding how people verify their identity documents is an excessive simplification. Just because we ask people how they plan does not mean we understand the real constraints of administrative procedures. The 75% who verify their documents in advance often do so from experience or fear of missing a flight, not from a vacation planning habit. If a citizen has a passport expiring in six months and must travel to a country that requires six months' validity after the return date, it's not a habit, but a strict rule. The survey cannot prove the direct link between vacation planning and document verification without considering specific legal requirements.
