Thank you.

I gave all the reasons I have.  They are serious, at least to me.
They have nothing to do with the quality of your research or of the
resulting code.  They have everything to do with considerations of
stability, and with weighing risks and efforts vs advantages.  If you
don't regard such considerations as technical arguments, so be it.

However, after saying that in so many different ways, I don't see any
point in continuing the argument, as we evidently disagree.  Let's
move on, we both have better things to do.
