I'll ignore your implied claim that I'm a liar; I'll restrain myself 
from saying why I think it is that you still haven't understood what 
I've been trying to say; I'll say it again, I'll say it clear, if needs 
I'll shout it in your ear!

We have proxies.  We have them because we resolved to have them; we 
changed the model constitution.  Proxies are but one example of how the 
model fails to meet our needs.
