Message: <blockquote data-quote="tetrasodium" data-source="post: 9065721" data-attributes="member: 93670">There is no reason to because the question is mere smoke pretending to be tangible.  You are badly misapplying garbage* statistics to create a <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey" target="_blank">motte and bailey</a> out of smoke.   There are multiple points of contention where plurality and majority  can be in conflict and we have not at any point been given questions capable of identifying the actual specific majority preference because the questions are always asked in isolation.  When the threshold is rounddown 70% anything up to 69.999_% is no different than the "minority" you keep pounding the table about.  Changing it to roundup only changes the threshold for"minority" some fraction of a percent down to to 69%.It doesn't matter  "How and when we should we be using the minority's opinion"  because there are areas within the rules we can point to where those rules are attempting to simultaneously supply a halfhearted support of both and neither side where those efforts conflict with each other. People are trying to discuss those areas of dissonance within the rules and you keep clubbing that discussion with ad populum smoke based motte & bailey constructed from GiGo that wotc has not even made public for you to know.*wotc could hypothetically be doing world class polling with the playtest surveys with some other goal in mind, but none of that polling has asked questions needed to support your question as anything other than GiGo because that polling is aimed at demonstrating something else entirely.</blockquote>
