I had the same question, I agree with you, I don't see why this is such a big
issue. However, Michael feels very strongly this will be an unacceptable
run-time performance hit and software implementation burden. But since I don't
see the problem and I respect Michael's technical credentials it makes me
question my own understanding of the issues. What am I missing?
