        This is unfortunate.  It stacks the deck, without responsibly
assessing the issues previously brought forth.  As MOST, but not all, are
acknowledged, above, to appear to "really like the program," those others
who do not, (whether within those schools, or not) what are THEIR issues
and concerns, but perhaps especially those concerns retained in the face of
the intrinsic power of the majority?
        Do we not disrespectfully and unprofessionally relegate these other
professionals to a seeming status comparable to "trenchcoat mafias" when we
so blithely and easily dismiss their reasoning and perspectives?
        Regardless of those perspectives we may have come to, we do surely
do ourselves and others a disservice to use vacuous "proofs" to cavalierly
write off their just concerns.
        May we please consider.
        Thanks!
