If that was his point, he picked a very bad example. His exmaple license
would fail on discrimination before convenience even became a factor.
As far as the "convenience arguments", as I pointed out earlier, the
differences between freedom and convenience are quite clearly delineated in
the dictionary, and attempts to conflate the two do not make for compelling
arguments.
