It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    Are you willing to admit that polling data is unreliable and that it’s nonsense to do arithmetic on results from separate pools? If not, there’s no basis for engaging with you because you’ll just repeat the same nonsense with poll after poll until you luck out on one that is less obviously misleading.

      How on earth did you miss the part where i just explained in detail that making claims about what the polls show was something presented by someone on your side of the argument. I am literally here showing how the polls, whether you think they are wortheless or not, do not show what that person was claiming. If your complaint is with polls in general why are you huffing and puffing at me and not at that person. Could it be because that person just so happens to be arguing something that you’d like to be true and i am not?

        Because the other person didn’t do insane arithmetic between polls in a way that counted some people as three people then defend it three times before backing down, and then refuse to admit for another 24 hours that their logic was flawed.
