Yes. I do. Very much.

Do you have any?

Sorta, except the video has many examples where folks tried to improve, but they ended up with more shortcomings than solutions.

Ultimately standard notation is still the best we have.

I think they were joking...

Thank you for having an ethical standard and the will to adhere to it.
