You have conveniently ignored the rest of my points, which are not, as you have claimed, off topic. (and you love to jump into threads and claim they have become off topic, historically, with only the points that you are considering being on topic.)
Considering that you're addressing the person who is ultimately responsible for drafting technical strategy for MediaWiki development, I'm not sure that asserting that his view of what comprises useful discussion is fundamentally flawed is a particularly constructive approach.
