My only counter in this particular scenario is that SE has already determined that the SFX were worth changing based on a minor amount of feedback. I see this poll as simply an indication of how many people (out of the subset of people that care about SFX) prefer the old or the new. However, if this poll was created prior to SE changing the SFX, knowing the amount of people that didn't care would have been more beneficial. They could have seen that most didn't care and concluded that it wasn't worth the time to adjust.

But as you said, this is not statistically relevant, so really it's more for curiosity than anything else. No disagreement there.
