Ed, this seems to be moving beyond general discussion about the change. You're inciting conflict regarding a larger issue, namely, coders sometimes make changes to the game in order to drive a certain style of play at the expense of other elements that people appreciate. Personally, I think this would be better addressed in a separate thread.
If you really must have the discussion here, demanding that they explain the thought process behind the change doesn't seem to be the right way to approach it.
It also seems like you have all the evidence you need to make a meaningful case for why coders should put more consideration and discussion into changes before implementing them. Do you want additional rationalization for this change just so you can attack their line of reasoning? That doesn't seem very productive or... nice.
The change has been made. Please help try to improve the change instead of condemning the change. For everyone's sake.
