Can you say more about that?   Is there something that's giving you an impression of what angle the imagined group will be coming from, if it's ever formed?   I wrote the text I wrote to try nail something down, but I don't have any good evidence yet it's a widely held view.

In any case, can you say how your angle differs?    My wild guess would be that you want to publish the data without knowing who might ever use it or what they'll be doing with it.   Forgive me if that's totally off base, just trying to understand.
