I'm a little surprised that the results of the poll are as close as they are. But I think that it has to do with the fact that a lot of "nerds" don't think as themselves as nerds. It's like in every generic high school drama tv show where one of the nerds gets to hang out with the cool kids for an episode and then thinks that he's better than his old friends and says stuff like "I'm not a nerd like you guys" except he is, and always was, even if in his head he didn't think so. A lot of people on these forums are huge nerds, most don't realize it and usually say stuff like "only the people who do nerdier stuff than me are nerds". They are also the same people that probably voted "no" to keith being one, because voting "yes" would've meant that if Keith is one, then they are most likely are nerds too.
