I have a hunch that "the problem" you are talking about is not the
same problem. I can't verify this, because you tallk about "the
problem" tersely in the abstract, without stating concretely what
problem you mean. But I am pretty sure it's not the one I am trying
to avoid.

I would describe that as the "easy way out". You consider it a good
option and recommend it as a solution, but I see it as opening a can
of worms. Thus, for me it is "the problem" and I am looking for how
we can _avoid_ it.

Alas, I don't follow -- that is rather terse, so I don't understand
the point. I am not sure whether I would agree or disagree, if I
understood.
