So, you are saying your comment regarding a horned Moses was in context, whilst mine was not? *shrugs*
Actually, my post hearkens back to earlier comments by myself and others regarding the mistranslation and misinterpretation of the bible (which I guess could be construed as out-of-context as well, strictly speaking).

That of course also depends on what exactly was the question of the poll, whether f.ex. there was some closer determination like "a text of 50-1500 pages" or "a text which was issued in one book" (still, using the already named example, one could for example write just Psalms or something as part of Bible). I'll leave this to your imagination, but you see the lines along which I am thinking.

In any event, I see we can all agree (whether wholly or in part) that the Harris Poll survey question was vague, and the results left something to be desired.
