It's not the reviewer's job to convince Tom of anything in particular,
but I think it's helpful for them to state their opinion, whatever it
may be (agreeing with Tom, disagreeing with Tom, or whatever).
IMHO, the most compelling argument against the OP's approach made so
far is the encoding issue. I was hoping someone (maybe the OP?) would
have an opinion on that, an idea how to work around it, or something.
