Only Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkins users think that everything is binary
--- every effort has to be balanced against the work involved, which was
#2 on my list.

You are getting into some kind of loop where not wanting to expend
unlimited effort on something means, to you, that the person doesn't
think the goal is important. Effort has to be balanced. This is not
the first time I have seen such loops. And why do you even care about
my opinion?

And I have never said "we have enough reviewers". Is this where you say
I should be doing more? I thought we dealt with that already.
