BTW. just to answer this point. The reason maybe for this
is because the default response to my concerns seems to
have been "you're wrong". Not "i don't understand, can you
detail", and not "i don't agree because ...".

I may well be wrong (in this case I'm quite sure I'm not),
but if you say I'm wrong, then I assume that you understand
what I'm talking about and have a fair idea of the details.

Anyway don't worry. I get that a lot. I do really want to
help get this merged.
