Do I detect that, despite a year passing since SML managed to divert a lot
of high-quality people's attentions from Schemas, people are still madly
keen to ignore the things they can change and fart around with things they
cannot. It is like seeing an American train bearing down on us at a
train-crossing and thinking that we can stop it by adopting the metric
system.
