Post-match survey: do you fill them out? would they know?

I've been getting a couple post-match surveys from programs.
Some of them are really long and ask very specific questions.
For me, I don't know if I should fill them out or not for fear of burning bridges.
However, if I do fill it out, I would definitely voice out the reason I did not rank them as high (ie. racist interviewer at Yale, etc).

What do you guys think?

I highly doubt that you'll be burning any bridges. The people who select for fellowships are usually totally different than those who select for internship, and enough years elapse that no one is going to remember. Be reasonable -- if you complain about your interviewer being racist, the PD would likely want that information and it would be helpful.
