Web polls aren’t scientific, so decision makers aren’t going to take
them very seriously.
As for the bit on "mediocre group of proponents", often a proponent’s
intensity can work against what he or she is arguing for. Whenever we
have a discussion at work about what operating system to use for a
project, I try to be up front that I might be biased. We have a young
student intern that’s very devout proponent of open source. But when
he says things like "Open source rocks!", it undercuts his argument.
It’s usually not the intensity of your argument that counts in
business. It’s the objective arguing of the merits.
