I'm not really following the back and forth (I get the digest from others *g*), but maybe because it's not so much about the numbers. Like, if one person has a valid issue (for instance, I know there's more than one, but go with me) and a hundred people don't - or vote without understanding that issue - then it's weighted against something that should be dealt with?

That's the sort of thing that would stop me putting something to a poll. I have no idea if that's applicable in this case - maybe they didn't think about it, or they're just trying to figure out how to present it.

Also, I now want tacos.
