All this to say, @orthonormal, I think your conclusion is incorrect. Given the history of how folks in the DoD, DARPA, IARPA, NARA, ISOO, the Stimson Center, and the CSPS/EFPC have taken me quite seriously over the years, I think the Gang of Eight will as well.
But thank you for giving me the opportunity to refine how I would respond to such critiques, since my first reply was suboptimal to be sure.
