You don't argue like a ronin.  You argue like a thrall, as you've

I disagree utterly.  It's a step sideways, through work that's been done
for years.  All that changes is ownership.

"evolution of these technologies in harness" is funny though - that's a
nice description of where I think we're heading.  Into harness.
