The example isn't brittle. It is simply not an example.

If you want to leave it out, however, then I think you should submit an 
orderly proposal. The changes you seem to be suggesting have 
consequences that go beyond what I think you understand, and there can 
be no serious discussion of it while it is not clear from your posts 
which part of what you say is the relevant one.
