I am not speaking for Ilya, but from skimming through the dialogue it struck me that you didn't respond from the perspective of managing the process, but from a pure engineer mindset of providing alternatives.

It would've been better if you started by 1. understanding the issue 2. acknowledging that the type system has an obvious bug 3. looking at the issue from the perspective of the person bringing attention to the issue. I don't think anyone was looking for workarounds, but looking for

1. acknowledgment of the issue
2. acknowledgment of what the issue leads to in terms of inconvenience
3. a forward looking vision for future improvements

Your two #1 points aren't the same - understanding/acknowledging the issue. I think I could have done more to acknowledge it now that you brought it up.
