I assumed you had spent a considerable amount of time understanding and/or developing DA, perhaps in your downstream work. Since you have strongly disagreed with me several times, I also assumed those disagreements were grounded in that level of expertise.

I don't _think_ someone at this level has enough capability to _judge_ the rationality of others' PRs or approaches. Of course, commenting on them is welcome, but as in case #162281, dismissing something outright from the start strikes me as overdoing it. Also, explicitly stating "objection" without sufficient experience in the topic seems a bit too much in some cases. In such a situation, I feel it becomes almost impossible to reach a consensus, as continuing the discussion without sufficient knowledge will only lead us nowhere. It may simply end up being a waste of time for everyone involved.

this comment is entirely non-technical and off-topic. As I have mentioned multiple times, please keep your comments focused on the relevant technical issues
