I could see myself supporting this.
It seems appropriate for the weaker term to require more words (thereby
teeing up the opportunity to point out the distinction, which will

Some of these dreams and the outlines of these concepts have been around
quite a bit longer than this year, even. I think some differential
diagnosis about what makes this draft different, and why it makes the
