Hyperbole is destroying the Internet.

Another interpretation would be that your proposal for a different wording for the IETF consensus was better than you saying that the first proposal was untrue, given that no one has measured the first one.

Sounds like a reasonable alternate proposal. My take on the feeling of the Apps Area discussion in Beijing was what we put in the document because it seems likely that that will be the larger IETF consensus, but your alternate proposal seems possible as well.

>Should I have withheld comment on it?

That's a question only you can answer. :-)
