I didn't say that you did, and I wouldn't say that you did. I don't disagree
with anything you said. I'm just pointing out that difference, because I
think it is important.

I agree with you in that Jasyn's mechanics can be justified by his premise.
I don't believe Jasyn's mechanics are a logical consequence of his premise.

(Which is again distinct from saying that Jasyn's premise leads to the
logical conclusion that his mechanics should not be used. That's something
else nobody has said, to my knowledge.)

Or even no new mechanics at all.
