Practical examples
Those who left early may have had different experiences and were less likely to respond.
ربما مر الذين غادروا مبكرًا بتجارب مختلفة، وكانت احتمالية ردهم أقل.
It would therefore be more accurate to describe a tendency among respondents than a universal preference.

Further feedback from non-respondents could help establish how broadly the conclusion applies.
