It is flawed because of its lack of a point. And we're fencers here, we should understand the need to have a point!

Unless you're a sabreur, in which case you can be pointless for your whole life...just ask Inquartata...

The poll is flawed, because all polls are inherently flawed.

I think it's time for Inquartata to admit defeat.

So what we need is a poll to determine just how flawed a poll is.

Maybe a rep point system for polls. Craig? Gav?

You have to read between the lines, so to speak. The question isn't, "Is this poll flawed," but what it implies: "Is the Right-of-Way convention flawed?" I think most of us here recognize that, even at a subconscious level.

This poll is flawed because the answers are too clear. They needs to be a 'maybe' catagory for people who can't decide, or don't want to, but want to vote anyway. You need to have every possible answer on a poll, or people will come up with another one and declare the poll flawed.

It's flawed because I selected the wrong answer. Clearly it was poorly written and too confusing.

Wow, i just realized that the "flaw poll" has been done before... here! Which makes MY "is this flawed?" poll thread even more flaw-ed-er. Darn! I thought I was so original too.
