I was right. I asked you two uncomfortable questions, which you
failed to answer:

What would be a sufficient benefit?
> You don't understand why I want adequate justification before I add code

What would be adequate justification?
If you don't know the correct answers to these questions, you have NO
RIGHT to insist that we answer them correctly.
