I think this conversation has gone way off the rails. I certainly share some blame for that: in https://public-inbox.org/git/20180303182723.GA76934@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I let my emotions get the better of me and let my bafflement show instead of focusing on my gratitude for the context and clarifications you were providing. And I am grateful for those. What went wrong is that I somehow turned it into a debate. That's not the point of a patch review. After all, we have the same goals for this document! So I am happy to continue to work with Derrick Stolee (and anyone else interested) on whatever improvements he would like to pursue, but I am going to bow out of the arguing with you part, if that's okay.
