I'm startled by this comment.

I mean, I understand that it was the thing to do that Pebblesorters would endorse, that part isn't startling, but I didn't think you endorsed that "Pebblesorter::(should, right, moral, etc.)" way of speaking.

Does this reflect a change in your position, or have I misunderstood you on this all along?
