I think your being a little unfair to ok. He has some genuine concerns about
some of your decisions and his expertise and attention to detail should be
considered as being positive input aimed at improving the lot of Prolog
programmers rather than destroying the aim which I'm sure he supports even
if he disagrees with the conclusions.

Academia is all about presenting your well reasoned opinions and opening them
up for peer criticism. Throw away the peer criticism and you get much less
excellence.
