Actually you have been exceptionally clear and easy to work with.

I just want Jean-Pierre and Wayne to step in and comment on the
notion of using a "bad argument exception" before it becomes propagated widely.

Some costs are obviously worth the benefit.  That decision however, needs to be made
consciously and with all the data and alternatives in hand.

I will now rest my case, the yellow light has flashed.
