I think muddling up this argument with 'freedom' doesn't advance it one bit. I do note that "others had better ideas" was placed next to "accept" as if you are rejecting an idea belonging to someone else, who is hereby advised just to accept it. Instead, could you (Apollinaris) tell us the arguments *against* a consistent data set?
