Alright, I accept that.

I don't promote anything. I just think that trying to force an agenda on
such a survey is essentially useless. It's like someone on the street
loudly complaining that the system of government is wrong to a pollster
asking who you're gonna vote on the next election. It's slightly awkward
to walk by, but I just have to cross the street and ignore it, which is
what I'm going to do.
