Yeah, well, I've already explained why he's wrong, and I think the other respondents have been trying to say pretty much the same thing. I don't think we need to spend any more time on this. If there were a real problem with the standard, that would be one thing, but since that has not been demonstrated and arguments to the contrary have not been refuted (restatement of the original claim does not constitute refutation), I for one consider the matter settled.
