All the words give trouble. Or at least so many of them that a clause
by clause review is pointless at this stage.
I am more concerned with the substance, of which I find there to be
very little. Even more, I am concerned with the motivating factors for
the substance. Until I understand what the RM is supposed to *do*,
and why anybody would want to do whatever that is, I see no point in
wordsmithing.
Believe it or not, I'm really not trying to be difficult.
