Not quite. I read about it early on, including the explanation of what it is 
about.

Sure, it would be clearer. There's a hopeless cause to get involved in, 
changing already several year old web-wide usage.

As Ken pointed out, and I just posted more about, ETTR may push the histogram 
to the right, with low DR subjects, or to 
the left, with high DR subjects. It isn't just one way. It's about what happens 
at the top end; everything else falls 
where it will.
