It's not a poor excuse, I believe this treats polls in the spirit in which they're intended. An option for people to specify a film from any year solves your imagined issue, no code changes required. "For example "what was the best movie in 2006?" is a good question even if a new movie comes out in 2007" That's actually a different poll question, not the one I posted here. You've limited this to one year. If you think adding a time factor "simplifies" this by any means you and I have differing opinions about keeping things simple. "Although NotA sort of handles the problem, it only does so only technically but does not actually address the issue." actually, this is the non technical solution, no new code added, just post the name of the film. Also: "Without specifying a year or range of years, a poll like this would always be out of date, unless, somehow, automatically updated." You propose wiring code to automatically update 8 year old polls is somehow a simplification? How can adding and testing code to provide an unrequired feature possibly by keeping things simple. Again I think you're trying to solve a problem that simply doesn't exist IMHO.
