No, that is *way* out.  We can overrule the objections, recognizing
that sometimes compromise is the worst of the four possible actions
(this, that, mix, wait).

But don't ask me to "accept" what I consider to be an idea that admits
a *lot* of improvement.[1]  Let time prove me wrong, please.


Footnotes:

a reiteration.
