OK - but you haven't suggested why you think it was tacky or delusional.

I am trying to prompt people into actually debating proposals, rather
than just talking about their own.  Point 1 doesn't include people
arguing why Ivip is the best choice, but I would be happy for someone
to do so.

I wrote why I believe Ivip is the best choice - including by
addressing every other proposal and arguing why, or pointing to
arguments why, I believe they aren't as good.

If other people, including yourself perhaps, did the same - if they
explained why their choice of proposal is better than the others,
with specific references to the failings they perceive in all the
others - then I think we would all learn something and a useful
debate would ensue.

We would certainly learn about what other people think.  We would
probably learn something about scalable routing.  We might learn
something which changes our understanding and assessment of our own
and other proposals.

Do you think this is a good idea?  If not, what do you suggest as a
technique for fostering debate?

  - Robin
