This is of cours an unofficial report, and the NFHS will, of course, issue the official report this week. The committee worked long and hard to arrive at these wordings and should be commended by all for their unflagging devotion to their craft!:) The authors, likewise, worked very hard on their papers as well and were a wellspring of potential arguments. If you've never taken part in the wording conference, its' a fabolous experience!!:)
 
Sincerely,

"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that person that he, if he had the power, would be in silencing mankind
 If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by  its collision with error." John S. Mill
