Yeah, that other quote did confirm what I expressed exactly, didn't it?
[...]
As far as I can tell, if you change a rule, then "I dislike X" is hand in hand with "I prefer Y." Which was what I was trying to point out. Simply getting rid of a rule can be justified as "I dislike X." However, if you're going to change the rule, then "I prefer Y" is pretty much ingrained into the reasoning just as much as "I dislike X" is.
Which is why I was saying that it's basically impossible to find "I dislike X" as the sole reasoning when changing a rule.
Actually, I'd argue that insisting that "I dislike X" and "I prefer Y" are separate enough to count as different "valid reasons" is completely missing the point to the point of pedantry.
