Ah - I'm afraid I don't know how to say what I mean more clearly :(

I can repeat myself, more or less, to say that this split both
encapsulates a distinction that I think we should not make, and
distracts from the fundamental issues at stake behind the recent
discussions.

I suppose I'd add that it does some harm to seek technical solutions
for fundamental societal problems. The technical solution may be more
or less neutral in effect, but it takes the focus off the problem we
should be dealing with.  The joke about the drunk under a lamp post
looking for his keys.

See you,

Matthew
