Rather than being dropped into the middle of an already-confused public discussion, it needs to include careful motivation and your own discussion of the reason it appears to be reasonable, desirable, etc.

That (to me) is a very informative and explicit answer that helps us focus. But I guess your prediction of milage varies.
