Hm, that is not exactly what I was going for, either.  First, I didn't
mean to harp on anything in the past --- it was a request regarding
this current review.  And on the other hand, I am not sure it is a
matter of you being uncareful or uncommunicative, exactly.  It's more
that _I_ am doing a poor job of clearly conveying what Junio described
as easier to learn on one's own at [1].

To put it more concretely:

I am going to be stubborn.  I will not ack a patch unless I can
imagine myself, years from now, after running into a bug in a related
area, not being confused by it.
