I don’t think those were most of the questions I was looking for, though. This isn’t a criticism: running the poll early risks missing important cruxes and fault lines that haven’t been found yet; running it late means that much of the discussion has already happened.
Often it feels like I can never please people on this forum. I think the poll is significantly better than no poll.

Yeah, I agree with that! I don’t find it inconsistent with the idea that the reasonable trade-offs you made between various characteristics in the data-collection process make the data you got not a good match for the purposes I would like data for. They aregood data for people interested in the answer to certain other questions. No one can build a (practical) poll for all possible use cases, just as no one can build a (reasonably priced) car that is both very energy-efficient and has major towing/hauling chops.
