I repeat: I am not providing facts for or against the inclusion. I am not "getting" at anything. I am providing facts to make sure that the final decision, whichever it is is fully and roundly informed.

I really wish this to become the standard practice: first collect all facts; then weigh them. Otherwise, the danger of confirmation bias will always be looming. And another metacomment: in the inclusion debates, people often argue about individual pieces of evidence independently. The whole can often be more than the sum of its parts.
