You don't understand.

If your code is superfluous in the end, we shouldn't add it in
the first place.

But if I do relent and let your code in now, we have to live
with it, and it's associated maintainence costs, FOREVER.

That's why I'm forcing this to be implemented properly from the start,
so we don't end up with two pieces of code that provide essentially
the same functionality.
