Poll
Question: How should we interpret opinion polls?
Opionion polls determine reality because if enough people BELIEVE an opinion then that's the way The Universe manifests itself. - 1 (25%)
It's like voting whether there's a lime-coloured rock on Mars, no matter what the majority says, it doesn't prove the existence or absence of a lime-coloured rock. - 3 (75%)
Total Voters: 4
