With respect, I think you did a poor job the second time too. I can't
find a clearly explained reasoning behind the proposal, nor do I
understand what the problem was.

One of the things I do is work hard on my initial explanations and
reasoning. This helps me because I frequently end up not proposing
something because my reasoning was poor, but it also helps me focus on
whether I am solving a real problem by sharepening my understanding of
the actual problem. And it also helps Tom (or others) demolish things
more quickly with a well placed "indeed" ;-)
