Scott isn't being dense, he's playing devils advocate. While it can be
incredibly tiresome having every decision and process put under the microscope,
it can also be incredibly rewarding having members of a community prepared to
invest the time to question the issues that 90% of us would otherwise just go
along with.
I'm saying this because, although no-one likes being wrong, Scott has corrected
me on occasion and it has been useful. He isn't just being contrary, and I
think he deserves more respect than you've shown him here.
Then there's dead-horse beating, but without a formalised process structure it
is rather hard to tell which horse has swallowed one sleeping pill, and which
horse has gulped the bottle. Maybe that would make it too much like real work?
I dunno - the progress report on that decision hasn't come back yet ;-)
That's a serious suggestion btw! It is getting awfully close to by own
badly-treated horsey, but I'll continue to poke it occasionally until I get a
response :P
