No, it doesn't because the question doesn't ask for the respondent's experience. It asked only whether Olympus or Panasonic "are" more reliable.

Actually this was the question at the end of the OP, immediately preceding the voting options:  "Which brand is more reliable in your experience? Please take part in the poll and share you experiences in the comments."

I suspect that the votes by some reflect personal experience with both brands, while many other votes simply reflect personal perception of reliability of the two brands.  I certainly wouldn't count on this to reveal which brand actually IS more reliable, but it does seem to indicate that Olympus has, at the very least, a perception problem.
