Technically, you need at least three options to have responses to one of them be "most." And then it doesn't even have to be a majority.
Since no one can be said to have chosen the third option of your false dilemma we don't really know, do we?
Well, maybe I did.

Many of the members who only read some of the posts probably didn't even see this poll to vote on it.

I'd say you're mostly right, Sparteye.

Was that non-majority a singularity or a plurality?
