I believe what Duncan is asking for is basically the same thing I (and others) have also been asking for: An explicit "not dryly-factual" section where the experts explain their various positions.

I am saddened that we won't have these sections in the document -- I think not having them does a disservice to the readers who, like you, want this material.  (We've had at least one other person comment in this thread, and we've had nobody say they don't want it.)  But the disagreement seems to be based on Mehdi having fundamentally different conceptions of concourse than certainly I have, and I'm not prepared to litigate the philosophy of argument just to get a section added to this document.

On the other hand, in light of the amount of abuse it seems that whoever drives this process will receive no matter what they say, I'm certainly not willing to switch places with Mehdi, and I think he deserves a heaping ton of credit for frankly superhuman positivity here (in addition to credit for doing the work itself).  So if he continues to oppose this idea, I respect his decision.  In that case, I think we're just going to have to write it up separately, and hope that it gets the visibility it deserves.  Maybe we'll be able to get a link in this document, although if that turns into a fight, like so much else here has, I hope I'll have the self-control to turn and run in the other direction.
