I had my husband do a $0.10 survey last night (rate a song, he's a musician) for fun. Chances should be slim that I lose my account when he answered "male"?

If the requester sees he marked male and then later runs another survey and you do it and mark female, there's a chance the requester could report you to MTurk for scamming. Since MTurk isn't clear about their rules for suspensions, we simply don't know if they would suspend you or not. Since it says in the Terms of Service that you cannot let others do work on your account, it's not really a risk you want to take.

What about occasions where workers are simply careless and click the wrong radio button without realizing it?

Even if a survey says that, it's still against MTurk's Terms of Service.
What if he takes the survey...but he is being advised of the answers by the girlfriend. TECHNICALLLLLLLY he ISSSSS working on the hit himself and is only being advised by outside counsel.

Let's not argue technicalities. Just follow the rules.
