Hey thanks for dropping by @quinneaker, I think it just takes a lot of repetition and refinement in arguments to get the points through. There's a bit of momentum this time around as ned has considered it in the comment section of his recent post.
Check out @trafalgar's response above. He's answered your concerns very well!
Yes, all progress takes vast amounts of collective discussion, meditation, pondering and even arguing. Thats why this is great. Though with that being said my statements/questions still seem to be the key in that process. I read a LOT of comments including many from @trafalgar but did not see one that answered clearly and specifically my questions/statements. I can look again as its a critical issue.
Best regards and SteemOn!
