That's nice.

Does recitation of your personal interpretation mean that it is 
irrelevant that others interpreted differently?   I've already heard one 
senior participant promise to use the results of the hum as leverage for 
working group activity.

Or do you mean that it is irrelevant that it was conducted in a manner 
that /guaranteed/ it would be interpreted differently?  That would imply 
that shared understanding of a strategic position for the IETF doesn't 
matter.
