Nobody dismissed it out-of-hand. Reading back through the thread, I guess you're objecting to what Ed Morley said: > If this were a 1-5% regression, then I think it would be worth discussing the > trade-off. At 20%, I really don't see how we can take this, sorry! But that's hardly a direct dismissal -- he's given a range that he feels would be acceptable, which feeds directly into the kind of "weighing out" that you have advocated (and that much of the rest of the thread has been about).
