I understand your reluctance. Way back in the day, I asked Joe how
involved he wanted to be with giving feedback. His basic message was
"run with it" which I have taken to mean "I'm trusting Project Aon
with my books, but I cannot be heavily involved in the day-to-day
decision making." I think this change is innocuous enough and falls
under the category of clarity errors.
