I left them open because I really wasn't sure what to say about them.

One thing I left out in my original answer was that I tried to address
this and it sort of made things worse.  That is, when I "fixed" one
case - another case broke.  It was whack-a-mole.

Sometimes the reporter isn't convinced by my answer and re-opens
the report after I closed it.  In order to avoid a war of closing/re-opening
I just leave them open.
