In short, IMHO, you're asking the wrong side to make their case.

I don't think so. The previous node was fairly useless. This latest node1 is much better. Good points. I'm glad you made your case, because it is a good one.

I'll certainly consider your points in future. I have not yet decided whether I agree with you or not, but I appreciate the criticism. It will likely at least push me closer to your stance on this point, but I want more time to reflect on it for now.

1 Note that the link to "This node" is not one of those very annoying uses of [id://...|this] that just make it tedious to tell what node is being reference (out of context), but is a use of "This node" to indicate the node I am replying to with a link added to make exactly which one I mean absolutely clear (since I didn't go the route of the awkward but clearer "the parent to the node you are currently reading" and "the great grand parent to...").
