It is a *VERY* weak argument, verging on desperation,
to claim everyone who took the poll not only understood
that the question meant this or that when it was not
mentioned at all, but that they went ahead and answered
based on that purported understanding.

Poll questions ask what they ask, not what you imagine
those polled mentally added to the questions.
