Hi Stefan :-)

Screwing up your OLL is YOUR fault, not the cube in any way 
whatsoever. If you cannot see the difference i feel sorry for you ;-
) I don't  understand anyone who can use such extreme ways to argue 
for or against something. Like :

- allowing ONE pop ... OMG then we MUST allow many pops ...
- popping is same as screwing up OLL

I call such arguments platonistic,not trying to see compromises in 
solutions to practical problems ;-)

The understanding that all POP's are due to human mistakes is wrong. 
I have argued enough for this already ...

-Per

PS! The last question is not for me :-) I never wrote that ...
