Do I have to quote Collin or anyone else who saw through this one? Steve did not put in a third option
on purpose. The idea was to get us to choose the lesser of two evils, not come up with an alternate. That lesser depends on the team and the year.
Most people on the thread went for a third option that was not in the poll. Now, that is not answering the question. If this were on a multiple-choice test in a class, and the only responses were the two in the poll, and if the correct answer, which you knew was correct, was not there, you couldn't insert it, and only those two answers on the test were "right" (to get credit), you would practically have to choose one, right? If you didn't, you would get the question wrong, right? But, both are wrong, and you have to choose one. Choose the lesser of two evils, whichever it is, and you get the question "right".
Let's not introduce something that isn't there. I don't care if you don't do either of these or if you do one or the other, these are the only two options. Pick one.
Should there be an option C? No. It's the way it is for a reason. The question was designed to be as close to unanswerable as possible, and to get people to see two sides of an ongoing discussion (if I understand Steve right, that is).
[EDIT] We are assuming, for these purposes, that
only two options exist, and that both are bad. There are situations like that in real life, though they are rare. [/EDIT]
