Well... You do try... And I have learned to be persistent. To say 'perhaps we should just agree to disagree' seems to say 'my mind is made up and I am not prepared to discuss it'. I thought that showed an unwillingness to listen to reasons that people may have. Your only reason why you had made up your mind the way you did was that you were concerned that the 'equilibrium would be upset'. But you don't seem willing to 1) clarify what you mean by that or 2) to consider whether there may be ways of minimising that risk. When reasons why such a change could be beneficial were suggested you didn't comment on whether you thought these were good reasons or not. You didn't seem to want to consider them at all.
Like you said before... Your mind was closed.
Right from the start.

How about opening your mind a little more when people feel strongly about something?
You did allow a discussion to unfold about VSG's. But that was an issue you brought up. You don't seem that receptive to some that posters bring up.
