Hello, Steven.

So, everything else on your message, sure. You do what you have to
do, but I really don't understand the following part, and this has
been the main source of frustration in the whole discussion.

I've explained the same scenario multiple times. Unless you're
assuming that I'm lying, it should be amply clear that the scenario is
unrealistic - we've been seeing them taking place repeatedly for quite
a while.

What I don't understand is why we can't address this seemingly obvious
problem. If there are technical reasons and the consensus is to not
solve this within flushing logic, sure, we can deal with it otherwise,
but we at least have to be able to agree that there are actual issues
here, no?

Thanks.
