Okay, so I attempted and failed.  Could at least try and explaing your
reasoning to _me_, then?

Guido never said anything about a 3/4 supermajority, as far as I can
see.  I just want _him_ to make the decision himself, not others to make
the decision for him by proxy because of arbitrarily high quotas they
(have to) know neither side can reach.

That's my point.  Give him the data, let him decide.  But Aahz wants to
make the decision for him, as the original wording of the voting
proposal stated.
