I find it a sufficient answer; I'm not actually sure I agree with it but
it's definitely the kind of answer I'm looking for.
Whether I agree with the answer doesn't matter for a hypothetical.
Who decides?
Our standard process applies for figuring out whether we as a community
have decided something--the IETF rough consensus process.
The specific details of that process are kind of complex, but I think we
both agree to a fairly strong approximation what that process is. We
probably disagree on details about corner cases that don't come up
often.
