Reply to: Are you overly picky?

[doodab]

Not to mention them giving us all the work they'd already done on cracking the Enigma machine, which was hugely helpful to the good people of Bletchley Park

Indeed. As well as the first machines we came by.

but without their pilots Britain may have fallen.

I admire them. I admire what they achieved.
But in my honest opinion they should not have defended the border and the vulnerable cities. If they had pulled back and defended Warsaw in depth, with a few belts of fortifications, and kept their air force intact in the east (rather than have their airfields overrun)

they will not have won, but they will have put a serious question mark over Adolph and inflicted some big hits in the process.

Do you like to find fault with perfectly good polls for no reason?

whoosh or bad afternoon?

Neither.

If the polls were perfectly good, there would be no reason to find fault.
If you find a fault, it's because they fail the "perfectly good" test.

Every fault generally has a reason attached to it.

Every perceived fault described usually illustrates the pollsters failure to consider a wider set of possibilities.

So that's a yes then.

I find fault with polls which have no appropriate answer for me, or polls which have ranges which overlap, or polls which have ranges that miss border values, or polls which have an ambiguous question or question that contracdicts the thread title, or polls which fail to provide an adequate, and preferably amusing, AndyW option.

This poll passes. Just.

The point of a poll is to pick one of the pollsters options. If you want to turn a yes/no question into a 500 word essay then there is a "create new thread" button you can use

if your poll option miss choices you never thought of then you can be sure you will get a good telling off!

Why doesn't your poll have?

1. I'm just precise its not my fault you are sloppy typical Man/Woman/Chimp delete as appropriate.

3. This poll is biased against Aardvarks.

77. Where is I am far richer than Yow option?

[Mich the Tester]

These yes/no polls are a bit limited in choice. Can we have something with a few more options?

WHS; pickiness is a context dependent attribute.

Good AndyW choice
