Given the editor's strong stance for your own viewpoint, it seems that 
your deference to him is not altruistic.

If you merely want the debate to end, the obvious course of action is 
for you to concede the point.  Otherwise I suggest we find a real 
compromise, not just editorial whim.  Both implementors and authors have 
come down on both sides of this argument, sadly.
