You are missing the point. If an RFC is so badly written that someone
does not understand it, or understand what benefits it is supposed to
provide, then there is no point in up-voting it
if i don't undrstand it i don't vote at all - that's the point
not up
not down
If you can't understand it then you cannot tell what benefit it gives to
the greater PHP community, and if you cannot see that it provides any
benefit then you should vote it DOWN. Common sense should dictate that
you only vote it UP when you are convinced that it will provide something
of benefit. If you don't vote at all you are admitting that you are
clueless, or don't care, in which case you are not preventing a bad idea
from being accepted. If it later turns out that it was a crock of sh*t
then you will be partly to blame because you didn't have the intelligence
to see it as such and didn't speak up. If you don't understand an RFC
then not only do you not understand the benefits that it can provide, you
also don't understand the damage that it can cause.
frankly, in the real world when you don't understand what some people are
talking about you don't join and say "no, you are wrong" - you either shut
up or ask again but you don't step in yelling "no!"
It is not about an idea being right or wrong, it is about adding something
new to the language. If you are not convinced that it will add value to the
language then you should vote it down. Not voting either way because you
don't understand the RFC or its proposed benefits just shows that you aren't
qualified to vote on anything.
