This argument was made and lost as you say. The problem is that the resolution was a decision from on high. For the most part, everyone kept their original opinion and nothing was truly resolved. I think there was some resentment on the part of the losing side because they felt their opinions weren't seriously considered. Please correct me if my impressions of that were wrong. I was not directly involved in such arguments at the time.
