I apologize for being dense, you state, " I see where this provides new capability for the users which has positive benefits to them" but then, "I don't see it as a new innovation that improves the actual product". I just don't understand your logical construct - new positive benefits don't equal an improved product? Never mind, you're way over my head.
You anticipated this, huh? It is no big deal, huh? You seem to be a pessimist.
I encourage you to post the next anticipated feature or enhancement so we may bear witness to your greatness. Oh, by the bye why not ask your mysterious friend for his expert analysis on this and future anticipated developments so you can keep us in suspense for weeks before revealing his thoughts as you have done previously.
