I agree with Rob here, dismissing his point of view this this way was out of
line.  Ironically, Rob was playing the role of the naive user since he hadn't
looked at the code. Anyway, you could simply post a small code snippet in your
email that illustrated why your point of view without expecting him to keep up
with the latest revision.  Frankly, I hadn't even looked at the test_cv stuff
until this morning when I was trying to make the conversation more concrete.

Please don't do that.  All that will assure is an inferior design -- one that
might not stand up to a review...
