How ironic that you linked to such a non-scientific, inherently flawed poll (ie not a random sample of HN readers) to argue in favor of science and objectivity. Just sayin! ;-)
No, I didn't link to a non-scientific, inherently flawed poll to argue in favor of science and objectivity.
I suggested two things: first, that the opinionated people at the Vatican would probably do well to take note of the results of that particular poll -- for whatever it's worth; second, that the poll appeared to support my observation. I never said it was scientific. I would very much welcome the conducting of an actual scientific poll on the subject.
I have other reasons to argue in favor of science and objectivity, which certainly don't stem from a Web poll.
