That should have been my job, but I wasn't sure how to get you there. And you understand it your way, and maybe your understanding will lead to something better out of this, in the long run. And no, it wasn't really bikeshedding, it just began to feel that it was just a matter of "but I think we should go at it from this angle" when really all I intended to get was whether or not my code was OK. I fell short there, in what sort of review I wanted, or saught, or dealing with what I got.
