    You know polls are utterly unscientific tea-leaf reading right?

    Lmao

    Maths is unscientific now

    E: To any downvoters: you are stupid.

    Polling is just maths, and is very reliable so long as it’s done reasonably.

    By all means have reservations of this poll specifically, but to call polls in general or as a concept “unscientific tea leaf reading” is foolish. Disagreeing with that mathematical fact is exactly the same as disagreeing that 5 + 5 = 10.
