There's nothing supernatural involved, but there is basic 
scientific method and engineering rigour.  Anyone can throw out 
ideas about how they think things "ought to be", but if you can't 
even provide a shred of evidence in your favour, it's not 
convincing.  Specifically, it makes it look like either a) your 
suggestion doesn't effect any real, tangible change or b) you 
haven't seriously considered your own proposal or addressed 
possible shortcomings.  Moreover, it shows a lack of respect for 
the time of others (which is just as finite as your own).  In 
short: the "shotgun" approach you've been taking with your 
feature requests is not working.

Fallacy doesn't help anything. Please stop that. I sincerely hope 
you don't believe belittling and insulting the community you want 
support from is an endearing trait.

Sorry, I don't understand this point at all.  A waste?  Science 
is the incremental march of progress; each advancement building 
on the last. How is being one of those stepping stones a waste?  
I hope we eventually DO have something even better than D2.  Like 
D3 or something. ;)
