Speaking as a chair, Eric, I have to admit I am having trouble 
comprehending your angst here.  Honestly, every time I begin to try 
to reply to some point you are raising, I get lost in thought and 
realize I've no answer.

I don't want to discount a lone voice in the wilderness (as no one 
else is speaking out in the same way), but its that whatever is 
clueing you into your view is not apparent to me.  Hence, I'm 
powerless to help.

I want to avoid the appearance that EPP is perfect.  (No one is 
running it operationally yet, so even if EPP is the most righteous 
protocol ever designed by mankind, there's no empirical evidence that 
it is perfect.)  But it's also apparent that whatever flaws hiding in 
it are hidden so well not many of us see them.
