Why are you arguing with me?  I just thought there was enough possibility
of this being misconfigured, and little enough effort to check, that it was
worth asking.

I did check the ruleqa details on a few relevant tests first.  The results
are very inconsistent between submitters, but I'm not sure that means
anything.  And I'm not sure if the people with all zeros didn't submit this
time or have their systems misconfigured.

How is it not warranted?  Did I somehow impune the honor of the
submitters?  How can it be wrong to ask?

Given the small amount of work to verify, I'd prefer not to assume.

Always, of course.  I would love suggestions.  I came here with the social
skills of a geek with a concern, not a master dignitary.  I would hope
that's okay.

I first asked in the IRC channel and waited a few hours.  Then I posted to
this list asking if it could be done.  What is more appropriate?
