All I can see is that number of people who report it is relevant as an interesting data point.

If you fill out the questionnaire you'll see the involvement. Where, intensity, duration, motion etc. anything else significant...it's part of the science. It's more than if you just felt it. I always fill them out. If they can get to the point of prediction..I'm all for it. Although Dutchinse does a pretty close job
