That depends on what would be "better" about the proposed "better" guide.

If it teaches the same things and is better inthe manner of teaching
them, I think we would embrace it.

But if the "improvement" consists of recommending things that go
against our principles, then yes that guide would go against our
principles.

I think Eli has a feeling it would be the latter case.  But you
"restated" his position to leave that possibility out of it.
The effect is to criticize something that isn't what he said.

This does not contribute to a useful discussion.
