You don't see anything even slightly problematic about referring to opt-out (rather than opt-in) aggregate and presumably anonymous usage statistics as 'stealing'?

You don't think that is possibly somewhere towards the further reaches of consensus on what is a reasonable application of the word?

You're welcome to disagree with my position but you're going a touch further than that. You're also accusing me of arguing in bad faith and being somehow aware that my argument has no merits. Considering I think I'm stating a fairly reasonable view I find that somewhat disingenuous in return.

I think you've tired of me but I want to finish with one last thought: "Choose your battles wisely" - this might not be the best place to make our last stand. There's a danger of tiring out potential allies before the point things really matter.
