My apologies, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Can you 
give links to specific mailing list threads? Are you perhaps again 
saying that my yellow flower image is a corner case and therefore it's 
OK to write an image editor that makes it literally impossible for me to 
perform my envisioned conversion to black and white?

As an aside, insults are things like:

* "backseat driver"

* "half-knowledgeable filibusterer" (I'm only guessing that was directed 
at me; perhaps I'm wrong)

* suggesting on IRC that I'm "insulting GIMP" (which I have never done, 
GIMP is my favorite RGB image editor) when really I'm questioning your 
understanding of the requirements for proper RGB image editing

* suggesting that because I agree that you are intelligent (obviously 
you are), therefore I should stop trying to educate you about where your 
color management theories took a wrong turn and are threatening to take 
GIMP with them.
