While there is strong scientific evidence that the earth is not flat,
it's not that easy to judge whether DIP1028 in its current for is good
or bad.

Personally, I agree with your opinion but not everybody does. And it is
still only an opinion (we cannot claim that it is the truth without
providing scientific evidence).

There are indeed some arguments that support Walter's point of view. And
while I think that they are outweighed by a large margin by the
arguments against the DIP, in the end it comes down to weighing these
arguments against each other. And apparently opinions regarding the
weight of these arguments differ a lot.
