> I don't understand why you are confused.

I understand now, and I'm not confused. However before, when I was learning 
about this topic, I encountered a problem, and it's worth trying to make it 
easier. Even now that I 'understand', the issue continues.

It's about terminology and language, and not about the functioning of mm3.

There are distinct choices. You'd like to easily remember them, in your mind, 
and be able to quickly explain to yourself, or to someone else.

- "list default". I would just think "Ok, clearly that's the default. Look at 
the name there. List default. The default."

- "default processing'. I would just think "Ok, clearly that's the default. 
Look at the name there. Default processing. The default."

Yes, we know they're different. What is the mnemonic device to remember each 
one. Couldn't they be named differently?

99% of the time, you can remember "a config file", "the executable", "the bin 
directory", you can remember a thing based on what it's called, and those don't 
conflict with each other.  

But if you name both of your sons "Michael" even though you understand they are 
separate people, it causes headaches.

If you choose a naming scheme such as "the red automobile" versus "the red 
car", and then ask the person "don't you understand, those are two different 
things for us. Why are you confused? They are two separate things. You know 
that. Why are you confused." Answer: the problem is the choice of naming.

So ask the question is "default processing" the only compelling name for that 
functionality? The word "default" is already used for "list default". Why use 
it again? Why not "Standard Processing -- run additional checks and accept the 
message." Or "Regular Processing". "Typical Processing". Anything besides 
"default". Invent a new word: quark-spark processing. (well, don't use 
'fallback' because it's just a synonym.)

well, just trying to answer "why you are confused". maybe I am being too 
repetitive already.
