To be fair, some of the content was about testing and diagnosis too. It was believed at the outset that the problem went much deeper than merely waveclip length handling, such that preventing saving was the only reasonable quick fix. Wording discussions can get very long, but a sub-optimal wording decision can exponentially increase support workload. Kudos to Vaughan for hanging in there reading -quality.
