I'll echo those two statements: I can't comment on what happened in the
past, and the technical argument seems sound enough. However, it doesn't
stand much of a chance of being heard/read and given due consideration

arguments are lost completely if they're only little nuggets of value
in a heap of verbal junk and self-aggrandising blabber...
