No, it's the same thing.

I started out by saying that Texinfo is horrible. It's horrible because it 
doesn't *buy* you anything. The only thing it buys you (the "info" format) 
is totally irrelevant, which I tried to explain.

AsciiDoc is much nicer. It does everything that Texinfo does for us, and 
it's readable on its own as plain text, something Texinfo isn't.

So by advocating Texinfo, you're advocating something that is OBJECTIVELY 
WORSE than what we have now.

And I tried to explain why, by pointing out that info files (which was the 
case you tried to push as an advantage) aren't actually an advantage to 
any normal user.
