Indeed. But up to now, L73B1, and the ensuing MF situation, still exists.
It was claimed it shouldn't apply, it was said (you just did it) life 
would be easier if it wouldn't, but this ain't proof.

BTW, I also claim life would be easier using dWS principles, in some 
cases at least. MI could lead to technical problems. But the confusion 
from incoherent explanations nearly always will.

Best regards

 Alain
