I agree with your observations that WGs are kind of lost and wasting
time to discuss which horse they should bet on. I disagree, however,
that the ADs are a cause for all this - the problem is that the NM

addresses the requirements of the operators. Rather than pointing to
the ADs, we should point to ourselves.
