Even if accurate, that's an ad hominem, and doesn't help communicate.
Furthermore, I explained *why* I want to know your reason in some
detail -- is that arrogant? I think that true arrogance involves
demanding to know your reason without giving a reason of my own.
All I want to do is get to the point. If you just want to know what
it's doing, that's a perfectly good reason -- but then I don't see how
it helps Emacs development, and I excuse myself from the conversation,
which probably should move to an AUCTeX channel.
OTOH, if you have a reason that bears on Emacs development, it would
be useful in framing the conversation to know what that reason is.
