I'm not seeing a "need" for it, though. What effect does it have, 
other than changing the foundation of all this discussion to suddenly 
support, instead of oppose, your arguments?

Saying you don't want to hear objections that are made on the basis 
of "Your arguments are invalid." or "Your arguments are sound, but do 
not apply here." demonstrates an ability to learn what obstacles are 
in your path, but a failure to learn constructive strategies for 
dealing with them, and I see that pattern being repeated here. You 
celebrate your success at predicting what objections others will 
have, but you then forbid them from raising those objections, instead 
of reformulating your own arguments (or, better yet, your 
understanding of the issues) to no longer provoke those objections. 
Seeing that the definition of XRD does not mesh with your ideas, you 
seek to redefine XRD instead of coming up with better ideas.

Since you're (apparently) so good at seeing flaws in what exists (and 
what is being proposed), how about you tell me what catastrophe will 
result if you do not convince us all to stop it? What stands to 
BREAK, horribly, if the Subject line becomes optional?
