Which would be useful if they were also forced to actually provide a somewhat science based line of reasoning for their answer. But in reality its gonna be completely made up reasons not based on any facts.

    Not all petitions are based on stuff that’s “factual” or “provable” as well though.

    Petition to paint crosswalks in pride colours for example.

    While I wouldn't personally mind pride colors on crosswalks, having them be forced to answer "anything" is better than being allowed to ignore it.

    Example:

    "Painting them pride color will increase the cost of painting them, as it requires new tools and extra colors adding complexity to an otherwise quick paint job with tools used also on other similar road work .

    While we agree in the spirit, the cost of doing this outweighs the increased visibility of a minority group, and will therefore not be considered further. "
