As much as I agree with you that that the models we have are broken; I don't have anything else to work with. Some people here seem convinced that everything we need is already here, others are saying that it's broke and needs revision. I am trying to accomplish something within the bounds of what we currently have. So, please stop accusing me of trying to "shoehorn" something. Even if this is a screw, I've only been given a hammer, and no other option.
