Hi, Gabriel.
Thank you for being receptive to my critique. I would like to encourage
you to read it again and then review your proposal and make changes
yourself, if you agree with my concerns (and feel free not to, where you
disagree!).
I think I should not enable your completely passive response, where you
expect me to spell out changes for you, even though I have called out
specific examples of flaws I see in the proposal. Your writing just "I
welcome your ideas", as though I had not already made specific points that
you can act on, gives the impression that you are unwilling to meaningfully
engage with the notes, and just want a solution you could copy and paste.
But you should take responsibility for what you propose, and own it with
confidence, not expect others to "just fix it" for you.
If, after comparing my notes to your proposal, you are still confused about
any *specific* note and the change that could address it, feel free to ask
*specifically*, and I (and others here) could help.
Cheers,
A.
