Well, I tried to make my case in software architectural terms,
specifically mentioning the architectural property of visibility, and
the value of both the hypermedia application constraint and
dereferenceable identifiers.  I'm sorry that you're unable to relate
these arguments to your own experiences, but that doesn't make them
any less technical (or even dogmatic as you seem to imply).
