The "statistical polling" idea is really just acknowledging the fact that a government (if they put something like this into law) would then of course be required to "uphold that law". So it's just my way of explaining that I think it's FEASIBLE for a government to not only put something like this into law, I think a government could probably enforce it reasonably well.

I'm sorry, but you are making it very difficult to follow your train of thought. If you don't want to answer direct clarifying questions, that's fine, but a refusal to answer questions is generally not a sign of trustworthiness. Good luck.
This is a dialogue my friend. I don't know what prior knowledge you're bringing to the table so I don't know ahead of time how to explain myself. By interacting and asking questions and me answering (and vice-versa) we can hopefully come closer to understanding one another. I'm not trying to dismiss your questions. I probably just need more from you in order to know how to answer them.

EDIT: And that's not to say I'm necessarily "right" about any of what I'm talking about. It's just an idea, and sometimes ideas can be a little complex and nuanced, which can make them even more difficult to explain.
