Dr. P. –
It seems you just restated your disagreement (on methods not numbers) without providing an even general alternative. You’re saying something’s got to be done, and even something you don’t agree with is better than nothing. Understood. But in your ideal opinion (even understanding that you would agree to go along with a less than idea solution rather than arguing), what would be the most effective solution if you had a choice – and no one would argue with you?
