That is not in any respect what I said or implied. In fact, you go on to 
render an extensive case for the feasibility of polling, as suggested by 
Scott, which approach meets that portion of my post which you quoted 
above. The rest of my post sought information on which to make these 
analyses.

Please do not presume opposition where none was stated .... and only a 
day after Jeanne asked us to be nice :-)
