Aaron and I discussed it, and I'm willing to relent, so feel free to land. In Aaron's opinion right now:

`Effort to improve diagnostic >(greatly) Chance of someone running into it`

I'm willing to wait until there is proof of the RHS of that equation being of greater magnitude before being willing to ask for the effort on the LHS.
