Default RE: WB or Fall/Drop-Away?

Here's what I said to PT in another thread:

If you have a poll that asks 100 baseball players.....this question:

What's the hardest thing about hitting a slider?

Their choices are:

No. 1 - Picking up the rotation
No. 2 - Keeping your weight back

Now...you get the results.....and the results say 77 to 23 that No. 1- Picking up the rotation .....is the hardest thing about hitting a slider. You'd think you had your answer now, wouldn't you???

But the facts are......74 of your "baseball players" were little leaguers.....and 28 of them were pitchers.

Now.....you realize you ONLY had 9 college and Professional players in your control group.....and 3 of them were pitchers.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED?

Nothing.

If I'd wanted to PM everyone "I thought had pertinent information for my poll.....you'd have ridiculed me for singling out some members and for omitting others. I couldn't win, either way. But why do YOU care, Atlas? Why not let people respond if they want to....and not respond if they didn't want to. I don't KNOW everyone here.....and that's why I asked EVERYONE.

There's NO WAY you don't call me out, either way.....and everyone knows that. I'm willing to let everyone make their own decisions and take WHATEVER they want to from ANY poll.

Why did you respond if you thought it was baseless? We both know the real answer to that question, don't we .
