> yet you're implying there is evidence they would

My first comment on the issue was a question and my second one was prefixed with "I would guess...". I don't know how you can read either of those comments and assume that I am stating anything definitive.

It may not be your intention, but the tone of your comments is very aggressive. Further, your sarcasm is off-putting. I understand this is a hot-button issue, so maybe take a breather.

I stated a simple question asking if the linked survey was too general to definitively indicate how the public would feel about this specific issue. I then followed up with a guess about public opinion that was clearly labeled a guess. I honestly don't understand what prompted the hostile tone of your comments, but I apologize if my comments offended you in some way.

Could some questions really be arguments?

His question adds more than you carping about his question does...
