I sort of figured that, but especially in light of how Thread:269689 just went down, I feel it's important to not miss the forest for the tree, and not give too much of this thread's time to objections that miss the mark of the original proposal to begin with. Once more with feeling, for the sake of the closing admin: authorial intent is not the main sticking point of this thread, though it happens to support its conclusions to a nonzero extent. The proposal is very much rooted in evidence in valid stories.
