I  thought it became much more convincing about the time that the chart
was  introduced.  Your apparent reaction suggested that the  elementary

If you review once more what I actually said, and to what I was actually  
responding you might reap another reward.
 
In the remark to which you refer, I was not addressing the introduction of  
the chart at all.  Rather I was pointing out that asking for a source (and  
then receiving one) is not pedantic, abstruse, irresponsible or cloying.   It is 
rather, the way in which we normally work.  I don't think that,  whether or 
not there is an unambiguous way in which to transliterate Japanese,  is such 
common knowledge, that it can pass, while in the heat of argument,  without a 
source.
 
Perhaps I should have said something like "thank you for the chart, but I  
don't thank you for the manner in which you deliver as well a back-handed slap  
along with it".  That isn't appropriate.
