The others are basic, pragmatic decisions that would be made by any half decent editor at any half decent specialty magazine.
No. 4 is the key. Why rock the boat when the SOS works so well?
If it ain't broke don't fix it, and it seems to be working for them so why even attempt to change the paradigm?.
Mostly I say who cares? - the future will take care of itself.
Short sightedness IS the American way after all.
