We can speculate all we want about the opinions of the people who didn't vote, but there's nothing to delineate the reasonableness of those speculations.
It's a measure of mandate that's intended to elucidate the misleading nature of the "average" purported in the blog. As yet we don't know of any way to properly center the data (the actual average of 1 to 10 is 5.5, whereas neutral is a "5"). Directly calculating the relationship between those who fall on one side or the other of neutral provides another sort of insight into the flaw in the scale.

But you
can't say "62.5% of respondents oppose the split." That's just not true. the "mandate" is that 55% oppose the split. you
CAN'T just discard 12% of the responses. That's
more misleading than average from the blog.
