Well said.

   And describing it as an "experiment", as though your intention is purely
   to discover something about Emacs use, is more than a little disingenuous.

It is exactly how M-o was forced through, "an experiment" -- people
objected, those who just didn't care the keybinding (i.e. people who
had already rebound it, or didn't use it) weren't effected.
