I do realize just how painful it is to move from general concept to 
concrete detail for technical details.  Perhaps that difference in our 
experience explains why I have so much respect for the requirement to 
provide meaningful detail.  And an understanding of the difference between 
meaninful detail and "every single detail one could possibly imagine."

Clearly?

So far, we have not been provided with any real-world examples of 
comparable operations and we have not been provided with any meaningful 
detail for the current proposal.

Yes.  That would be very helpful.
