Wheres the goat option?

goat options skew results.

Yeah, they show what we really think about polls

so if so many people enjoy voting for the goat option, just because, then real results can never be found.

No, it shows that we simply don't have an opinion on the matter or that we feel that our opinion shouldn't sway the end result (perhaps we just feel we're unqualified to make an informed decision on the matter).



Besides...................it's GOATS!

with a voter turn out of 10 or so, we need all the results we can get, without the goats.

The goat option is like the "I dont give 2 shits option"

its a great option.

Yeah, but those results would be worthless if the person is uninformed. If there's a poll on the differences between the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Accord, I'm choosing the goat option because my knowledge of these vehicles is somewhat limited. Lot's of data that's inaccurate is kinda pointless and may sway the person (as this example has the potential) to do something that they shouldn't.

The goat option is the equivalent of a scratched ballot... Just because you dont know anything about the poll doesnt mean you cant show your support for it... Hence the goat option. At least people will participate rather than just not vote.

Very good explaination Paul

Couldn't be said better
