I have a data set of 35 observations with the predictor variable (x1) using the Likert scale and y = 0 or 1. I run -logit- and -logistic- (Stata v 10) and get a result that says:

note: outcome = x1> 3 predicts data perfectly except for
      x1 == 3 subsample:
      x1 dropped and 28 obs not used

-logit- is dropping 28 of the 35 observations and is using only 7 observations for the logit model but I don't understand the theoretical reason for doing so.
