Yeah, this is all definitely going to be argued about heavily. I myself disagree with more than a few of these choices. I'm sure I'm not the only one, which is why I would like to assure myself and everyone else that this is nothing more than popular decree. I'm sure there are even some that didn't vote at all, so these statistics might not be as accurate as they might be made out to be. Just throwing that out there.
