The majority of people would prefer to do something rather than nothing, therefore doing something is the clear choice and doing nothing is no longer an option.... This is the argument made by somebody else on another thread when it came to the Warhounds when clearly the highest number of votes were to not change anything. This assumes that the voter would cast a vote for another action as opposed to doing nothing - a faulty assumption. I could easily say that the vast majority of people would prefer to avoid bathing in busted glass and therefore eliminate that as a choice as well. This is data manipulation.
And that is why, at least in my opinion, any poll should always keep "none of the above" as an option.
The poll you refer to has not been used to force anything on anyone. All it shows is that a lot of people seem to want change, and a bunch of people don't. At the moment it's on the edge of "not worth further discussion" and "further discussion and narrower poll", IMO.
Of course, you're having fun setting up straw men. I'll leave you to it.
