If this is correct, then I accept the point.

So if the poll question is asked, I hope, for this reason, that a FIDE list is
used rather than a PCA list.

I've nothing against the PCA - it's just that it makes the calculations more
complicated, and therefore probably less accurate.

Maybe better to phrase the question so that it doesn't refer to a list at all.
