FTFY.

The argument has been made here, you just chose not to follow it.
(Yes, the argument is based on an application that you may not have; =
this doesn=E2=80=99t make it less convincing.)

(I=E2=80=99m not sure what =E2=80=9Cscientific proof=E2=80=9D means; =
I=E2=80=99d substitute =E2=80=9Ctechnically sound argument=E2=80=9D.)

I think the more important observation is that you don=E2=80=99t have to =
fight against these applications; they just aren=E2=80=99t yours.
And, that it=E2=80=99s not CDE vs. dCBOR =E2=80=94 dCBOR contains CDE as =
a layer, so it is actually =E2=80=9Cno additional layer=E2=80=9D vs. =
=E2=80=9Cadd layer that helps mapping certain numeric application data =
types to numeric CBOR data types in a deterministic fashion, so CDE can =
do its thing on the latter=E2=80=9D.

(After last week=E2=80=99s bizarre discussion about layers in a =
different place, maybe I should use this term less.  But it is really =
useful...)
