Interesting. Do you know percentage of respondents would not be able to imagine how they would feel if they had not had breakfast? 

I'm going to take it even more literally, then.

There's a common question in intelligence evaluations that goes something like "If you hadn't had breakfast this morning how would you feel right now?"

Very unintelligent people will often respond by saying that the question doesn't make sense because they did eat breakfast. That's knowledge without imagination.

Undisciplined

I think you are correct. I don't think it is meant to be taken as literally as I did in my question.
