Correct.
1. Org should be the truth, not some export format that is picked
based on political opinion.
2. Lowest Common denominator in my vocabulary is a "bad word" that LCD

1. Make org the best format for holding the authored content.
2. Consider all exports to be either modality or use-case
specific and produce the best version that that export
format can support.
3. But then dont fall into the delusion that the export
format is the truth --
