No other commentary was necesary to make your point. Besides reading exploit code (if such code were released, which it was not), I'd imagine (as you mention) reverse engineering the patch and/or sniffing the network traffic of your (or another) scanner in action would be much more productive methods of determining how to write an exploit than your advisory was.
