Jóhann,

I do not think you are participating in this discussion with your mind open to the possibility that you may be wrong.

People have offered many reasons why they think what you are proposing is a bad idea. You have failed to acknowledge the possibility that any of those arguments might be valid; in fact, you have completely ignored many of them. In contrast, you may have noticed that the people who disagree with your proposal have still acknowledged that some of what you have said is true. It's a sure sign that someone is not listening with an open mind when they ignore anything in the discussion that weakens their thesis.

You mean I have not been understanding these points [1] which I myself have been making for many years.

Is it not more likely that it's quite the opposite that you refuse to look at the angle from as an upstream that maintains component in downstream point of view?
