He told me that they do not publish the questions, just the results. Then he said, "They're pretty apparent, though, from the results themselves." If that were true, then why won't Info-Tech reveal them?

You should take his word for it! It is true.
The questions are pretty apparent, though, from the results themselves.
That is the reason that they won't reveal the questions. Can you imagine how embarassing it would be and how completely it would discredit the "study" if the questions were revealed? That is the root cause of why they won't reveal the questions.
And yes, the questions should be apparent from the results. For instance, the Answer is: "XYZ Sucks!". Maybe the questions was either:
Given your vast experience with product ABC and product XYZ, please give us your unbiased professional opinion.
Does XYZ suck?
Now if the true question had been number 1, then they would be happy to reveal the questions they used.
Given the answer to the question; and the fact that they won't tell us the question, it is "pretty apparent", as Info-Tech says, what the question is from the results themselves. The question was question number 2.
