Looks like I might have run into some writers with time on their hands.

Steve — How condescending of you! Nope, I’m a software engineer who reads widely. I’d like to understand this issue and IMO you have done a poor job of supporting the producers’ position.

As you explain it, the readers here and the writers involved simply have to take your word that the producers are “the group that cares the most about [the writers]” and that writers, child-like, should defer to the superior judgment of you and the producers.

I’ll trust the writers to make the decisions about their interest. It’s messy, and maybe it works against them or maybe they get screwed if they leave it up to the producers as you would have it. There is no getting around risk.
