Thanks.

However, I'm not sure I understand the way forward, as you see it.
AFAIU, there are fundamental disagreements between you and Gregory,
and I don't think the disagreements are there because one of you
doesn't understand the proposals of the other.

So how could these disagreements be reconciled?  Either you-two come
up with some compromise that is acceptable by both of you, or Lars and
myself make the decision for you (and we don't guarantee you will like
it), or things are left as they are now.  What will it be?
