To be very clear, I have absolutely no objections to the GR being held,
and I agree with this analysis. That I am currently leaning against it in
no way is intended to imply that I am unhappy that it was proposed. I was
slow to comment in part because it took me a couple of weeks to figure out
what I thought, and that to me implies that this is a good GR. The
outcome is not obvious and this is not something that we've settled on as
a project.

I completely agree.
