No.  I don't understand:  "non-parallel lines in a two-dimensional cartesian coordinate system."

Do I need to understand "non-parallel lines in a two-dimensional cartesian coordinate system" in order to express my opinion based on my perceptions and my experiences concerning things that I do know and my overall sense of what is going on in the bitcoin space?

I do not claim to know everything or to be infallible.

I also do not claim to be stuck in my ways.  So accordingly, if I perceive or receive sufficient evidence to cause me to change my opinion, I am not going to ignore such evidence and stick with my original belief.

At this point, I believe that the "emergency" is much exaggerated, and not as bit of a deal as it is being made out to be.  That does not mean that NO action need be taken now, but it likely means that we do not need to rush into a solution that is imposed without considering various alternatives. 

Also, I believe that I have asserted several times that there is (and probably should be) a certain amount of bias in favor of the status quo (especially if the system is mostly working), and accordingly, if there are going to be various changes away from the status quo, then the burden of proof and presentation is (and should be) upon those who are proposing to change the status quo...

Describing the situation as "an emergency" seems to be an attempt to cause undue pressure and burden upon the decision making process that is not necessary, especially when it is an exaggeration.
