> I’m afraid you won’t learn much from the change, it’s a little bit of a dark magic change. [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-math/commit/e7ef2ec223d661954b870216d6da61bda8a677c5](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-math/commit/e7ef2ec223d661954b870216d6da61bda8a677c5) Poll is an old plugin and it’s probably doing something incorrect which forces me to do this here. I saw the issue but honestly didn’t dig the root cause as this interaction discourse-math/poll is quite a niche subject in our codebase and couldn’t justify spending days on it.
