Indeed.

I don't understand why some people, when presented with the limits of what is possible given application of a particular philosophy to product design (open access to various implementation details), reject the philosophy soley on the basis that some extremes cases of its application may not be economically practical or legally possible.

I continue to believe that (a) increased openness about the 990 design and implementation and greater access to internal processing options benefits Outlaw and it's more progressive customers; (b) this can be done without great cost to Outlaw in the simplest of cases (orthogonal feature applicability).

The biggest argument against any such opening up is "We don't have the time to implement that now," which would be perfectly reasonable. But, some indication of what might be possible in the future, at least an acknowledgement of enough of the internal architecture, would be welcome.
