Yes, so if you expect him to be, then you should ask him "are you 
a plumber?" (i.e. output range?)


But what you're asking him right now is, "hey, can you do clear 
this pipe for me with copper wires??" which is downright silly. 
Being able to write to an output range does NOT require you to 
have 'ref' members. The only thing 'ref' ever buys you is 
performance, not any new capabilities. Depending on it doesn't 
make sense.
