I think my phrasing was sloppy. I meant that I don't think discussion is

acceptable to resort to edit warring--certainly not to the level where one
editor alone is in danger of breaching the 3RR.
I don't disagree with that as a policy of action, but I do in terms of
objective principle. Specifically, I think there are many instances
where an attempt at discussion is useless in any direct sense, but that
we should always try to proceed (at least initially) as though it is
not, because we could be wrong in our assumptions of when it will be
useless.
In any case, your rephrasing is noted, and if that had been the original
phrasing I'd have felt no compunction to comment. Thanks.
