  Are you incapable of understanding that _you_ have done something that
  you could very easily correct to avoid all criticism?  Is that you want
  to _insist_ on badmouthing the standard that you fail to understand that
  you _deserve_ this criticism?

  Because they do not gratuitously defame that which they purport to
  conform to.
