Just because I believe that we *should* treat it that way doesn't mean I don't recognize the serious problem that we don't currently do so, nor would I treat most attempts to solve the problem as "making unnecessary trouble". I very much appreciate most efforts to solve the problem. Occasionally, someone proposes a potential solution which would have the effect of introducing new forms of bias or differentiation, and in those cases I disagree with such solutions; I wrote the comment I did to say that ideally I'd like to do so as part of a rational discussion without getting treated as "part of the problem" myself.
