Only that he agrees with the previous speakers!
For that matter, in an ideal world the Emacs region/selection would be:
(1) independent of point and mark

(3) represented by an abstract object type in Lisp
and all operations on the region should be able to cope with any shape, with useful behaviour for special cases.
