Im sorry if I lost you. Im saying "just so" stories should not be a valid basis for concern. Branding isn't evidence that proposals are in competition for funding opposed to additive. The only evidence is your "just so" story, and even that doesn't mean it is meaningful. It strikes me similar to a runaway precautionary principle or concern trolling. It doesnt matter if you can imagine a scenario where something bad happens. What really matters is if that bad scenario actually happens, and how often.
