I appreciate the correction. My point simply was that there is a place
for "heckling," even after the close of the case. The issue then is
how to focus that signal - irritating as worn-out-brakes it may be -
into something coherent.
The distinction here is that its a fatal error to characterize what
people say as just wiki-lawyering, when the issue is solveable through
broader signal enhancing techniques, that if Arbcom wants to, we can
start exploring.
