Hopefully the language author is driven by logic and reason, and not just his own ambition for the language.
Of course, no one here is questioning the developers' motivations.
Well, that certainly was the case from time-to-time when Rob was in charge. 
To sum up, it appears Lee's position is that a particular software design pattern (or at least elements of it) should be put into the scope of the language itself and actively enforced by the language, whereas the other side disagrees and argues for various reasons why that software design pattern should remain separate from the language itself.
Right, that's what I am saying. The practices of software design and language design are separate. Restricting a language's features to enforce a set of design rules on the programmer is, well... bad. Let's not do that.
