Wow, that is really fascinating, and not at all what I would have
expected. It would be really interesting to try that experiment.
Anecdotally, I've found that a suggested donation amount as the default
gets a bad reaction no matter what, but that set levels don't have that
affect. It kind of makes sense that a blank field might not have the
downsides of a suggested donation amount but allow people to think about
giving more.

I love this - if others agree, I'll work on some of that short and zippy
copy for the top. (probably taking from some of the recent stuff
eloquently written by Allan)
