I don't understand the connection between these two sentences.  Could
you expand?

As far as I can tell, 99% of our users would be happier if we did (and
I am one of those users).  Usually I run update because I want to
bring my workspace up to the latest code before starting to hack, and
to get the latest code I need to check with the project server.  So
I'm having trouble seeing on what basis these things objectively
"don't belong together". Again, could you expand?

So let us espouse a less contested notion of truth and falsehood, even
if it is philosophically debatable (if we listen to philosophers, we
must debate everything, and there would be no end to the discussion).
