Yep. You keep talking about polls as if they're somehow conclusive, objective, and completely predictive. The GP points out — correctly! — that polls are estimates, with margins for error, &c, with which you appear to concede agreement, but only after quibbling with the wording.

I'm not entirely sure how that's either mental gymnastics or a double standard, but I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything, so I'm prepared to be mistaken.
