Hi,
While I agree that the poll should have provided more options, such as: - neither 0 nor c - indifferent - need more info/discussion
The fact that it does include a box for comments mitigates the absence somewhat. Especially if in reporting the results, the comments are included as well (without attribution).
But yes, a poll needs better design for full validity.

What is normal for surveys that wish to represent the responses of those who are not represented by the provided categories is "none of the above". And there is no language on this planet that would equate "none of the above" with "No, I do not wish to state an opinion".
More generally, you should review John Klensin's brief comments on this thread. Your response to him suggests that you did not understand his point.
