BTW, as you've now updated your views at the bottom of the ANI, I wonder if it might perhaps make sense for you to go through your earlier comments and cross out any that are no longer current?  Otherwise, it might be confusing to some new readers, especially given the size of the thread.  This is, for example, the approach we commonly take at AfDs and the like, when our views morph.  As a kindness to other editors who will attempt to read the thread.  Your call  just a thought.
