If you had read the comments above you would have known Bradly was barking up the wrong tree. At least, attempting to debunk an argument which wasn't important in the first place.

Yes, you are right, though I don't think the above comments you're referring to had been written when I wrote mine.

I do think that the reasons for the change weren't communicated very well at all, though, hence why Bradley and others (including myself) were unclear on the issues.
