If I read that correctly that was a synthethic, not a real-life example.

It's not a question of "fault" or persuasion, it's a simple question

approach manifests themselves.

If I read correctly, Martin reinforced how non-trivial calculations
regarding mini-window sizing is, thus _strenghtening_ the case for
having a solution where the application isn't responsible for that, as
you suggest.
