Disco Steve, I know you're trying to stick up for me, but please, don't bother anymore. MOTA's already won this debate. Not by being right (he's not), not be being logical or sensible (he's neither), but because DC's once again backpedaled and retreated back to the Byrne dogma after spending all their time hyping Birthright. Bascially, he won this argument because DC is stupid, and he's rubbing it in our faces.
Best to just admit defeat and concede him the victory.
