True. As the best way to keep everyone at least somewhat happy.

I don't want to over-use 3-digit numbers. Only where necessary and
unavoidable.
For instance; The complete yellow dinghy does have the correct number. So we
can make a shortcut for it (if we want too).
But, AFAIK, the pink dinghy does not have the correct number known. So I do
not intend to release a shortcut for that. That would be, in my view, an
avoidable use of a 3-digit number. If we find the number, and want the
shortcut, then fine, we can do it.

I agree, it is hard to argue with the "How James..." argument.
All I want to do is try to keep both camps happy - or at least mollified.
