And you had better polling besides just your cohort and what other said to you? This seems like a disingenuous argument, ending with you can't really trust anything but our own opinions. Yes, they were bad, self-selecting polls. You have nothing better, and I hear far more complains than people being happy with the decision. The polls both tended to agree though so that would lend some credibility. Maybe you should have just explained "We aren't really asking the users since we have way to show that any poll would be valid, but we will take some input and make up our mind from that." I think that is a very precise (and charitable) description.
