Where can I find a job application for the Department of Ridiculously Stupid Surveys?

The government could save money if it would stop funding stupid surveys on questions anyone could answer.

This is ridiculous coming from an engineering magazine? Is this author suggesting there is absolutely no value in checking your assumptions? I expect all the engineers working for me and marketing people I interface with to bring data, no matter how stupid it may seem. I can't tell you how many "obvious" things have demonstrated to be wrong or not so obvious.
