I see, Mike. So that's a reason for a Decision to point to a Poll rather
than being an elaborated Poll as it is in this model. I think your example
can still be supported in this model via access to the outcome of the
Poll, rather the the decision, though. A Decision can be treated like a
Poll both by the Poll Viewer and by other code, e.g. the implementation of
the bet outcome in your example. So I'm not sure it's necessary to go to a
pointing model between Decisions and Polls.
