I've told you, more than once, how, and why, it's hare-brained.
Part of why it is is that you don't listen to yourself. You say you understand that I appreciate how difficult it is. In the next sentence you sweep that under the rug.
Intelligence is cheap; the question isn't how smart they are, but how much they understand. Lots of intelligent people bought into Enron. A lot of intelligent people bought into Maggie Thatcher privatising things.
Both of those worked out a peach, didn't they?
I don't care about "looking" ridiculous; I care about the foolhardiness of this, and that you are probably going to convince some number of people to waste time, effort and money.
If I agreed with you, then you'd have some point. Since I don't (and have said so quite a bit) trying to shame me into silence, with the "invisble others" who are thinking less of me? So what. I don't know them, they don't know me.
Which would have been something you might have taken into consideration before you tried to persuade me. Because everyone (all, 700, or so) who reads this, now has more than my interpretation of your ideas; they have your defenses.

I don't think you've been persuasive.
