That's another call for "please fix the NOT":

I'm not sure how "fine" it is, Hector's and your (among others)
interpretations are clearly different.  Maybe it is irrelevant,
Hector's interpretation only misses an opportunity to "retry".

Where KISS (his 3*3 table) and "the mail must flow" principles
conflict I'd bet that Hector would prefer "the mail must flow",
but this could mean "change critical code at its core".
