For the record, I didn't exactly ignore the rest of you:

I'm very appreciative for the work GreatSage, iss, TheImmortal and others have done to tweak level balance numbers (that I made), to tweak viable move lists (that I compiled), and all that, but I don't think those achievement's on the same level as writing the AIs that make the foundation of the tier.
My statistics aren't imaginary: I actually surveyed PS lobby chat to get the 60-40 estimate.

I've made it clear all along that I am in favor of removing NFEs, and I made it very clear in my initial post: "Unless there are very strong objections, I'd like to remove NFEs from Random Battle." I'm not hiding that I will be difficult to sway, but I think the fact that I've been hesitant to make this change (I've been mulling over this change for around a month) shows that I'm doing this in good faith.

I've never denied that this change is a matter of opinion, that there are people who want NFEs and there are people who don't, and which one is better is a matter of opinion. And of course some of the things I've claimed are unfalsifiable - that's why they're a matter of opinion.

I consider your post's content to be affected by your strong bias against the removal of NFEs, Great Sage, because you've made a lot of baseless accusations here.
