My model was slightly different -- the LM gives people the
background needed to understand the NR; the NR provides the
definitive answer for normal program usage.

(The IR provides the *definitive* definitive answer for tweaks,
since it's autogenerated.)


That said, other people seem to like your take on LM vs. NR, and
my vision doesn't need to be set in stone nor taken as the final
word.
