OK, I agree that this makes a technical difference between the two

Since I somehow started the discussion I would draw some kind of
obligation out of it. Unfortunately I'm suffering from some vacation
backlog and will enter a Bioinformatics sprint next week which will
probably not leave me any spare minute for this.

support by proof-reading if somebody would be faster than me.
