Yay.  I wish we could make this a *rule*: Don't
make a higher-order comment about a lower-order
statement UNLESS you make it explicit that you are
doing so and explain what point you want to make
thereby.

I assume Lawson has a reason for pointing to no-self
here, but it would be a lot more helpful if he
explained it.

Too often folks use higher-order comments as a way to
avoid addressing a lower-order statement, and all it
does is introduce confusion and short-circuit the
discussion.

If you have a *reason* for short-circuiting the 
discussion in this way, fine, there are occasions
when it's appropriate, IMHO.  But *make a case for
doing it*.  Don't just use it as a thought-stopper.
