Hey, you learned how to Google for polls, it's more than I thought, and we don't want to push it too far your first day.

Later we can talk about what methodology means, because from how you just used it, I think you just heard someone else use it.

If you want to read ahead:

Dude you can't explore with me a question about the accuracy of polling and find out that the answer is that modern polling is objectively shit, which was my point all along even before I started even looking at the question, and then get all condescending about how I don't know what I'm talking about. 🙂

Well, I mean, you can if you want, I guess. I'm happy with my conclusions from the day, though, you being rude about it notwithstanding.

So...

You knew what the answers were and thats why you asked for those specific polls as a "got ya"?

That's... That's just trolling.

Literally, the definition of it:

Not sure why you'd just admit that.

But if that's all you're doing, I guess class is over.

Not even slightly, no. Not sure how you got from what I said. I just picked the most recent 5 elections that have happened, and invited you to find polls for them. I genuinely had no idea what the results would be (and I wouldn't have predicted that the polling results would have been so wrong, bordering on absurd.)

Not sure how you got from me being unable to use Google and you have to teach me, to now I knew the truth all along and I just withheld it from you to trick you and so that means that all of a sudden it's not the truth anymore. But good luck with things, in any case.
