thanks, @jennamarbles.
of course, I saw past "your 4 point conversion." I would have hoped that was clear as progressing through the entirety of the article. I think the conflict just came down subtleties in the languaging of the delivery. My intention was to draw attention to the impact such had on the deliverability of what was obviously a well-intentioned proposal.
good luck with this project, though I'm not the person to run the marathon with you. :-)
