Polls are opinions and guess what they say about opinions?

Here is an example from Scientific American.

Do People Really Think Earth Might Be Flat?

Quote:
A poll says lots of Millennials evidently do—and it’s not entirely clear why

“Just 66 percent of millennials firmly believe that the Earth is round,” read the summary from the pollster YouGov. Kids today, right? But it’s not only curmudgeons eager to complain about the younger generation who ought to find the survey of interest. For despite the recent prominence of flat-earthery among musicians and athletes, YouGov’s survey seems to have been the first systematic attempt to assess the American population’s views on the shape of the Earth.
Now there is irrefutable scientific proof from NASA that the earth is round, yet 34% of the millennials believe otherwise. So much for polls and people's opinions on science or the law. Best is, leave this to the experts and judiciary.
