-I'm not using it as an argument. I'm just saying, nothing needs to be changed, and while you asked me to change a few things in it to avoid confusion, only you so far has shown confusion about it. Which both doesn't persuade me to do it, and makes the request seem a little selfish. And that’s important, because? Selfish or not, my request won't cause harm or discomfort to anyone else, and in fact would cause less of it on the off chance other people like me get confused. I fail to see how making a request that also benefits me in the process somehow invalidates the request…it’s like if you told me I don’t have a right to complain about someone setting fire to one of my books because I have a personal stake in the matter.

What’s important, in my opinion of course, is whether more people will benefit from my request than not, and I’m sorry to say I still don’t see who would be hindered by it.
