Obviously, this is a joke. The only thing we're really commenting on is our aesthetic preference for the physical appearance and/or simplicity/complexity of "writing out" the note duration. Any "rhythmic pattern" is possible through any number of metric manipulations. A triplet pattern could be written without brackets using a complex meter like 6/8, an eighth-note pattern could be written using triplets in brackets and grouped in a duple pattern, etc. Note duration really has no "substance" or "meaning" until a context exists. So, what exactly are we "polling" here?

They're talking about Schoenberg's complaint. The word. They're talking about the word.
