CLL has a whopping disclaimer at the front of it, saying that those 
are my ideas, not LLG policy; and lojbab wasn't exactly passionately 
agreeing with them. I think the idea is correct, else I wouldn't have 
advocated it; I've said enough on the wiki and elsewhere about this, 
but I certainly haven't changed my mind. If other Lojbanists choose 
to agree with dikyjvo, bully for them; and the marketplace of ideas 
is where it will get duked out.
