    I think this question is excellent, and I have been reading it religiously since it was asked, however, it appears that it is getting very discussiony. Much argument is happening in the comments of the question and underneath nearly all of the answers. I thought we were trying to discourage this sort of inter-locution.

    It might be too discussion-y, but I've learned in the past that when an expert (someone who has very few questions and very many good answers) asks a discussion-y question, it's best to let him/her get away with it. Positive contributions here should be enough reason for leniency, especially since we don't want to scare such people away (cf. the Minhyong Kim thread or the VA thread on meta).
