That's certainly not what I claim.  I only claimed that we cannot toss out a
WG decision, or force a decision on a WG, based on a chosen expert.  What
expert and who would pick them?

I did claim that running code was an important influence on a WG consensus,
by tradition, habit and official encouragement.
 - First, that doesn't mean it's the only influence, or the most important
influence in some considerations.
 - Second, the term is used both strictly, as in to demonstrate
interoperability directly, and also loosely. By loose interpretations of
"running code" you could claim that how a country uses a character in
printed books was a form of deployed code that can be used as factual
evidence.
