My argument is *figurative*, not literal.

You might not have intended that ludicrous conclusion, but it was implied 
by some of your posts, particularly the early ones. Of course I don't 
think that you *actually* believe the conclusion.

I believe that, whatever the real or imagined benefit of RSON over JSON, 
in this thread you have attempted to over-sell RSON while giving 
relatively little justification for it.

I wish you every success in your project, but think that it is off-topic 
for a Python discussion group.
