full well it's a bad patch and is proposing it because he wants to push=
discussion towards a solution. Often trolling the a audience with bad
patches is an effective way to motivate people to respond by writing
better ones; Jeff has told me he often does exactly that.

process by pointing out what he's doing publicly makes sense.

Assuming that's what Jeff is doing, how does= preventing better solutions from emerging 'make sense'?
