impression that your post cannot stand on its own merit, and that you need folks to rec it in order to seek some sort of validation for your weak argument. I always rec on the merits of a post, and at times fail to rec even when I should.

However, even though you ask for a rec, and my gut reaction is to not rec the post. Your argument is compelling, and I find that I cannot build an argument against it. You post is concise, and succinct, leaving me with no questions, and no rebuttal to your proposal.
