Reply from the above:

According to your hypothesis, shouldn't level 181 and 461 be "very hard" then because level 350, 425 and 500 have more votes than level 70, and 181 and 461 have even fewer votes than 70 (last month's poll)? 26 votes are accounted in the poll of the hardest level in reality, and you can't omit those 26 votes. More votes represent more people are finding the level really hard. Insanely hard is not equal to impossible, so you couldn't let only two or three levels in this category.

 * I'm sorry that the first point is a misconception. The purpose of putting levels in the poll is that the level is really hard and people are supporting the idea. If the level in the poll is easier than the level not in the poll, then the latter should be recommended. Or else, what is this poll used for?
 * You say so, but it is hard to do so in this level, when you have a river of blank tiles. Combos are rather hard to do so in this level, especially when you want to target those chocolates. Mind you, if you accidentally released the locked candies, the chocolate is still there. Moreover, don't forget this level is 6-colored.
 * "So what?" You can never tell if somebody will find other later levels harder than 70, and a prime experience of getting stuck on an earlier level long could be long-remembered. Like pre-65, 70, 147 and 152. And that your assumption is partially incorrect because you don't know whether the voters have hit hard episodes although most of them don't.
 * "Don't judge a book by its cover". You can never tell the difficulty of a level correctly with a glance of the design. The most famous example is level 245, which you think it is easy, but then it is very hard. As I said before, 6 colors and a river of blank tiles are hard to do combos, especially color bombs with striped candies. 45 moves may be generous, but the chocolate is not generous.

These are my counterarguments.
