I think a large component of the AC's job is community education.
It's helping those who are not familiar with the process navigate
through it when necessary.  If the AC can help the proposer find a
better path to resolution I think that makes everyone happy.

I'll also point out that we have a petition process, documented in
http://www.arin.net/policy/irpep.html.  I hope the AC would always
be able to provide a path forward that satisfies the author, but
if not there is a mechanism to allow the author to move a proposal
forward.
