I think that would depend on how you define re-writes
Tom. They felt like
re-writes and stuff changed.
I Incorporated a lot of people's suggestions and tried to find consensus.

It didn't go through any rewrites. You just made a few tweaks around the
edges between your drafts. You didn't address any of the fundamental
problems. Dismissing those problems as being attempts for "perfection"
confirms what I suspected at the time - you just weren't listening.
