While everything you say is spot on, and reflects a valuable perspective gained from watching this bike's evolution over the years, it's easier to take that perspective if you are not the proud owner of one of these bikes. No one wants this thread to go on for years. My bike cost me real money and is not a throw-away. Unless we are willing to throw out everything, a conclusion that brother LJH seems to have reached, we owners have a financial interest in learning to like the Kool-Aid.

When life gives you lemons...
