You are speculating upon the wishes of the dead and projecting your own conclusions onto a dead person, a person who means a great deal to many people here. I told you this is not a place for an argument. Absolutely shameful that you attempted to start one anyway. Go away.
About your central contention, that it is "disrespectful [...] to be speaking for someone who has just died", it seems to me that, on the contrary, it is an important token of respect to take the wishes of the dead into account (as best one can make them out) when choosing how to memorialize them. Your advocacy of ignoring Hamilton's wishes is disrespectful; my advocacy of considering them is not.
