That smacks of the Politician's Syllogism:
Something is wrong.
This is something.
Therefore this is wrong.
I think the more immediate problem with Sather is that it's totally obscure.
I'd never heard of it. I'd never read any articles about it. It has no
publicity. If people haven't heard of it, it'll remain unpopular.
Iters or no iters.
