Hi - On 2021-04-19 9:35 AM, Dave Cridland wrote: ... > Radical thought: What if explaining in detail why a proposal is a Bad > Idea *is* useful work? > > What if it might bring new people in to provide new insight? That > strikes me as very useful work indeed. Agree. But that requires careful listening to their ideas, as well as a willingness to examine dogma. Too often, the ideas aren't actually bad, but rather are at odds with some relatively arbitrary choice a WG has made in the past, and that decision has since ossified into an article of faith. Consciously or unconsciously, there seems to be reluctance to admit that an original choice might in any way have been arbitrary or unconsidered, much less admit that it may have with time proven to be suboptimal, even as protocols are pressed to handle situations well outside their original design parameters. Perhaps it's just human nature to be unwilling to admit that one's beautiful baby has developed into an ugly juvenile delinquent, as much as we might love that delinquent and in any case be stuck with them. This is where diplomacy comes in: there's a big difference between admitting that an idea might be a good one, but has come at the wrong time, and just snarling "Bad Idea" or doing the "bzzzt, thank you for playing" that I remember ADs and WG chairs using to squelch discussion.
