A dubious argument anyway, since the entire point of changing the

Yes that was the point. But although it might seem to be the right
thing to do in theory it seems that it doesn't actually work in practice.

There is a little more on this in Ian Visits blog:

No more really, since it is mostly the 2002 paper that has already been
mentioned more than once in this thread (which doesn't actually prove
anything in my opinion).
