Sigh, Dave.
It is very unlikely that there is any language on this planet
that would equate ""No, I do not wish to state an opinion" with
"I wish to state an opinion but you have no provided a category
that covers my opinion".
What about English?
Doesn't support your position.
If I ask you "do you prefer A or B", and you say "I don't wish to say
whether I prefer A or B, because you have not provided a category that
covers my opinion", in what way have you said something where "I do not
wish to state an opinion" is an inappropriate description?
Come on, Harald, that's really lame. You resort to putting words in your
opponent's mouth to create a strawman.
They don't want to say "I don't wish to say whether I prefer A or B,
because you have not provided a category that covers my opinion". Probably
*nobody* wants to say something silly like that.
They want to say "I do wish to say that I prefer a different option from A
or C".
I could have written the option in the poll as "I do not wish to state an
opinion on whether I prefer Scenario C or Scenario O", but I thought this
was so obvious from context that I did not.
Frankly, I don't see the difference - this fails in exactly the same way.
