How did a complaint that a particular bit of policy language was
confusing devolve in less than 24 hours into a rant about black
helicopters, plague and Fox news?

It's last call. For better or for worse, the apparent meaning behind
the proposal has passed consensus. The justification for returning the
proposal for further work is that is that the proposed policy language
is poorly constructed and inscrutable.

Smart folks on the AC. Are they smart enough to recognize that the
proposal passed consensus based on amorphous explanations of its
meaning instead of on what it actually said?
