Who said anything like that? It's just an example of surprising and
unexpected difficulties that may arise even when doing trivial things,
and that proponents do not seem to want to admit to.

Now that right there is your problem. You are reading a lot more into
this than you should. Losing power, xenophilus(?) fear, privileged
individuals,

just step back and think about it for a second, it's a PEP and people

generic sinister agenda that one must be subscribed to
