(Never mind that all internet polls are fundamentally flawed to begin with.)
You take this more seriously than I do - or rather, I am taking this with a grain of salt. I simply hoped to spark a bit of discussion. And I didn't weigh my words on a set of gold scales before writing, but I have now replaced "choices" with "selections".
