A summary of the arguments (tl;dr version) would be nice too. I appreciate that you put the questions this leads up to at the top, but a tl;dr summary would be even better.

I beg your pardon, Silas. :-) I'd most likely be happy to put it up, but I don't know what a tl;dr is.

'too long; didn't read'.

In other words, an abstract or summary. For people who not only can't be bothered to read the article, but can't be bothered to write 'summary' either.

Don't know if you're joking, but that's an abbreviation for "too long; didn't read", and even so, not knowing that shouldn't keep you from putting a summary with the specifications I described. If you have one to put up, go for it.

Nope, wasn't joking. I'm that unhip. Anyway, I'll work on an executive summary.

EDIT: tl;dr is up.
