This is the hierarchy that GP has chosen to establish. He takes this and everything attached to it in a different seriousness than you or I would take.
I respect his dedication to it and following this feedback and awareness that you have given. I believe he will do what is best for all parties. I am holding him to that high of a standard. DO RIGHT BY EVERYONE. Not just the process planners or the numbers posters, or the naysayers.
Impossible to please everyone, but as I said I hold him to that standard.
