Honestly that poll was a joke. There were very likely not 42 legitimate stakeholders at the time. More like 10-20 plus BCN-controlled sock puppets.
Does a voter in the poll have to agree with you to be considered a "legitimate stakeholder?"
Is this like the EU referendums where a country will have to keep on voting until they get the right (IE Pro Brussels) result?
Regardless of the poll numbers, a rough consensus (that the possible benefits of slower emission are outweighed by the 100% certain loss of trust resulting from breaking the social contract) did emerge from the discussion on that and other threads, which is why the emission wasn't changed.
And the debate did die down for a few months, until a little bit of mean reversion caused a whale with delusions of grandeur to freak out and demand Something Be DoneTM.
