#like the obvious issue is that the pollmakers don't define what a fairy is/looks like/verifies it's a fairy while a walrus is concrete

A.

I answer the doorbell. I see a sparkling Tinkerbell flitting in front of me (it could be shaped like something else but I need to instantly recognize that this is supposed to be a fairy).

Response: I take a sharp intake of breath, but (since the original pollmaker didn't specify immediate malicious intent) probably don't do much else except gawk. Until the fairy does something, I stand there bewildered, maybe scared IF I truly accept this is a mythical creature.

B.

I answer the doorbell. 4000lbs (1814kg) of writhing wrinkled grey flesh bends it's doughy head down from its 12 foot (3.66 meters) height to peer at me, two long white knives jutting from its hairy maw. It makes this noise:

Response: I scream. 100% I would scream if I saw a walrus at my front door. I don't scream very often but I know what conditions bring me to that state. A walrus meets those conditions. I don't have thoughts, I don't try to make sense of what I'm seeing. I scream and run.

Ergo, I would be more shocked by a walrus at my front door than a fairy. I understand others might have different perspectives, but I feel like the people actually getting mad at walrus-pickers are talking past us. No fairies aren't real, but we're talking about gut reactions, right? Not imagined logical assessments of impossible scenarios.
