Mark, you don't need to be this vitriolic. It's possible to disagree
with Bart without being a complete <censored> yourself. Please, have a
read of my previous post, and give yourself a moment to cool down. At
no time has Bart ever said that accuracy is unimportant; at worst,
he's sacrificing dynamism, maybe maintainability, but not accuracy.

A little calmness, please.
