I am not sure I fully understand why we're having this conversation, or rather why this aspect of the broader discussion requires attention. Sometimes working groups make mistakes, and I don't think that in practice there'd be general objection to having serious problems identified during IETF last call. Yes, there have been cases where cranks who can't let go of an idea that was rejected try to flog it to death, but that doesn't mean that identifying and dealing with real problems should be dismissed.
