Well, it doesn't seem all that productive.  At some point, which
requirements to make part of a concept is a judgement call.  There are
guidelines that ought to be followed, but some decisions fall into a
gray area.  You might legitimately choose differently from Aleksey,
but I don't think the validity of your choice delegitimizes his
choice, which is what you seem to be arguing.

I don't see why you would maintain your original opinion if you were
convinced it was wrong.
