As several others (not all extremely vocal, though a visible 
minority) have said, that poll was very poorly designed.

It was written to force your desired answer, and fails to
make any point except that "good survey design is hard."

I'd like to see the results of a well-designed survey on the 
subject, particularly if it is answered by a random group of 
people who haven't necessarily been privy to the ongoing 
debates -- optimally including people from a range of 
industries and disciplines, academic and otherwise...

Unfortunately, good survey is to me like much product design
was to Steve Jobs.  I know it when I see it, and I can provide
useful tweaks, but I am hard-pressed to spec it out beforehand.

Be seeing you,

Ted
