+1. This discussion is getting silly. Everything has been reiterated many times over by now; and it is clear that it's not a matter about understanding one another better, it's a matter of disagreeing. Let me add: It seems like a good idea with a forced break in the discussion at this point, and if Stefan's suggestion with waiting for the real world isn't heeded then a nice summary on the wiki listing pros and cons and trying to break up the question into smaller pieces in a more systematic way should be written before starting again.
