Let me defend the position that no one wants: a simple survey on “holiday planning habits” cannot serve as a solid informational basis for such definitive claims about identity document verification. The idea that these two things are directly linked by a simple observation is a dangerous extrapolation. A survey of 78 responses, however well-intentioned, cannot grasp the complexity of international regulations or administrative renewal delays. It’s like saying that a survey on movie preferences explains why people file their tax returns on time: the causal mechanism is missing. For example, a UK citizen who checks their passport six months in advance does so because of the unpredictable administrative delays of the Home Office, not just to “plan their holidays” in advance.
