People are going to be on a spectrum of finding scenery panoramas to be hugely positive to finding them hugely negative??
People are going to be distributed along pretty much any spectrum that you can imagine. The value of statistical concepts like distributions is not in providing certitude but providing a way to quantify and manage your uncertainty. This is why it's not a big deal that people lie on surveys - lies cancel each other out or stick out like a sore thumb depending on whether they're perverse or systematic.
Incidentally I like snakes a lot but that doesn't mean I consider them trustworthy :-)
No doubt they were relying on previous research showing that these things would be positive|negative stimulii to a high degree of certainty for all participants.
