An Apology is owed to Forceful Entry

[Hasbinbad]

Alarti rejects an informal poll because it will not yield results with scientific merit.

Alarti uses this rejection as one side of a diametric binary, suggesting that if only you ignorant plebs would produce a poll with scientific merit, that he, the open-minded academic, would accept the results of your poll and instead reject his friend-proved-rascal, Eccezan.

As if a poll of any sort regarding someones perceived value based on the opinions of this audience could actually yield results with scientific merit.

I say that results with scientific merit are not the only kind of useful results.
