It's a simple enough matter to be understood, and reasonable to
assume Walter is not missing any important facts or details.
Poking holes in his explanations is, I confess, attractive, but
ultimately are about debate skills rather than technical. I do
agree that the way explanations on DIP decisions go could and
should be improved a lot.
Then let me rephrase my complaints as a question (to you, Walter
and the community):
At what level of egregiousness of the degree to which the
unanimous community consensus believes both your decision and
chain of reasoning are fundamentally wrong, do we, the community,
decide to reject your position completely and implement the
community consensus?
