As you wish. Snipping a repeat of your argument from personal authority (which doesn't impress me), and refraining from further elaborating my argument that less problematic fixes for 99% of cases should take priority over more problematic fixes for 1% of cases (which obviously doesn't impress you), I will merely clarify:
