OK then only a thousand or two. It is pretty firmly established all around the world, don't you think? I have better arguments for why it should be kept than "it's the way we've being doing it for a long, long time." But even without those arguments, shouldn't there be enormous onus on the antis to explain why it is so very important to throw the definition out.?

Depends on your culture as to how long it's been "firmly established."
