That question was not rhetorical.  I admit that the leadup may not have
been the best incentive for answering it.  Sorry for that.  What I was
saying was that my own judgment was that the next consistent option
would have been a significant investment of effort that I saw no
compelling justification for, so I shopped for other opinions without
result.

You disagree, but I don't see your take on "next consistent option".
I am not opposed to investing a significant additional amount of time
for meeting a reasonable project objective.  But I don't want to waste
that time based on guesswork that might end wide off the mark.
