I didn't say that. But I do think it's more significant than it appears.

If people deliberately avoid a fundamental structure because it's awkward and in many cases it doesn't offer a clarification of their code in practise, when it easily could/should have, I think that's a significant loss.

Note; that's a commentary on one criticism relating to one particular pasted block of code wrt switch as it exists right now. It's not a summary of all my thoughts presented in this thread, just a single facet of my post.
