No, I said "no option" because it was no option for me.

If I was certain it couldn't do the job, I wouldn't have said "no 
option".

Because I would not have mentioned it.

So I think you are being misleading on purpose: you don't want people to 
know personal opinions (or preferences) that are not "objective" because 
you fear it would look bad on the software.

Because clearly you are not arguing from the position of trying to help 
an individual, but from the position of public image.

You are the misleading person, Karl.
