It appears this argument is subtly circular.  It suggests that people
who refuse to review a document on the basis of fear of contamination
by IPR claims have a choice whether to read it.  But that begs the
question: the _whole point_ of not reading is precisely that one
is concerned that the mere reading involves the loss of certain
choices.

Anyway, the way to determine whether the technology is superior
enough for the use case is to define what the use case is, and we
haven't done that yet; that effort is still underway, it seems to me.
