Solid, good advice, usually worth seriously considering. However, I'm not convinced it applies as well to a small slice of "the world" who may be convinced they speak for everyone else in "the world".

Perhaps someday, someone, will come up with an answer more detailed than, "because I (we) said so".

Perhaps you might "get it" and stop asking people here (who have already answered the question BTW).

Here's the answer- Because they are the authority and they wanted to. The why doesn't matter. Much like when you were a child, "because I said so" will have to suffice.

In the other thread, you even agree.

I'm having flashbacks to the "is touching" fiasco of 2007-2009.
