No, D'Arcy's point was that "obvious" isn't the criteria because it would lead to behaviour that no one wants. No one is going to win this argument by using words like "natural" or "obvious". You're just going to have to accept that there that there is no concensus on this issue and there never was. In the end only one person's opinion of what was natural and obvious really matters.
