[snip] I realized afterwards that this passage can look *way* more personal, snarky, and insulting than I intended for it to be. I was more trying to convey my own experience of being in a situation where the technical choices I was explaining and implicitly advocating were deemed dead on arrival and realizing that those rejectors had pretty good reasons for reacting that way. I apologize for the infelicitous expression. Cheers, Bijan Parsia.
