Tbh, I have to agree, it rather
does
sound in direct contradiction to this quote from Ash on repolling things like this...

We offer a new Golden Sword of Awesomeness that one-hits everything.
You vote No because you correctly think it'd be over-powered.
In the end it gets 72%.
At this point, someone posts that the poll didn't pass because the sword was the wrong colour.
You're afraid that we'd believe them, and offer it again as the Turquoise Sword of Awesomeness that one-hits everything. And then, if that didn't pass, we try again with the Beige Sword of Awesomeness and the Puce Sword of Awesomeness until everyone quits except the players who want the sword.
Quite simply, we wouldn't do that.

I have to strongly disagree to that statement. They're not offering to poll a dragon defender that's going to deflect all attacks directed at the wielder, or anything like that. They're not changing anything about the combat aspects of the defender.
The initial poll was a cosmetic poll to begin with, so if people are saying they thought the cosmetic change pictures in the poll looked like something else to begin with, they want to make sure everyone is on the same page as to how the defender looks
now
, and how it's supposed to look
after
the cosmetic change. That way the poll accurately reflects how the community feels about the cosmetic change jagex is thinking of implementing. They always receive complaints about colors and stuff, anyway, so I don't think it's such a bad thing that they're doing their best to make sure everyone is on the same page for this cosmetic change.
