It's objecting to the change proposal to remove the idioms section,
and advocating keeping it.  While I don't exactly provide a bulleted
list of objections, I was able to parse out 4 salient points from
Shelley's change proposal, and I addressed each with a dedicated
paragraph in the Positive and Negative Effects sections.  Should I
make it more explicit exactly what points each paragraph is
countering?

I have provided additional reasoning in a reply; I haven't yet
integrated it into a single page.  It could do with some rewriting to
make the point more direct.
