I don't recall disputing this. In fact, it was my suggestion as a feature

I understand economics, I'm talking about a useful feature request. You
guys are missing this very very badly. Somehow, you are assuming that since
I'm suggesting a feature that would be useful, that I don't understand how
to interpret the results such a feature would provide. But then.. how would
I know to request it?
I'm out of this conversation. You guys can argue in agreement amongst
yourselves.
Cheers,
Scott
