You quoted one of my paragraphs, but in a preceding paragraph, the "hints 
at some of the subtleties" that you request were given.  Please go back 
and reread what I wrote.

I have no problems with explaining why not to do certain things; that's 
(unfortunately) a large part of my job.  I DO have problems with 
explaining why not to do certain things and having people ignore me or 
argue with me about it.  It'd also be one thing if it were just me, a lone 
voice crying in the wilderness (:-)), but it's not: it's everyone here in 
DTS as well as in other departments here at Apple.
