The question has been asked in polls (whether one feels strongly or not on the issue). That's the best evidence available. I base my conclusions on the best evidence available, not on my preferences.
Otherwise, if you omit that fragment from its greater context (which you ignore) then the remainder of the remark should still stand quite well enough as my opinion of the matter, which is what it was.
And if you obviate the particulars, eliminating what was said with what was done, excluding the obvious, eliminating the particular, avoiding the obvious, yes, there was some truth to your remarks. Not much, however.
