Me too.
Wanted to check what the buttons eg 'edit poll' do without using a real post.

Hopefully it will be more than just an opinion? Something objective perhaps?

You cannot answer the question 'can you see this poll?' objectively. It is subjective in nature. The only response that makes sense is yes. Since you have to be able to see the poll in order to answer it. The methodology is therefore flawed.

That's a whole can of worms on its own.

The only response that makes sense is yes. Since you have to be able to see the poll in order to answer it.
But isn't that objective - from observation?

The methodology is therefore flawed.
Noooooooooo, too much information  :'(

In the case of at least one person answering no how do you interpret that?

I might see that as subjective.

I would be blind to their answer

If you had a blind person who had access to a braille browser then their answer of no would be legitimate and subjective. They can feel but not see the poll. Without that information in an anonymous poll you could reject valid data points. Hence why I said the methodology is flawed.

See or feel what? You have now just manipulated the data out of existence.
