The more things change...

I already answered that question in my post.

Since lack of efficiency was cited as a criticism of the current method, I will point out that even if you feel that taking the time to read multiple lines of decoded information instead of a single short line is more "efficient" for you, it's certainly not more efficient to originate and transmit the data in that manner. You'd have a hard time making a rational argument that consuming a plain text report is a more efficient method of consumption, because it simply isn't; several pages of decoded information can be consumed in a single page of coded information. Perhaps the best argument against the coded method is that it requires the end user to memorize the code, but given the relatively simple nature of the code that's hardly an argument about efficiency.

Let's just say I disagree. Sort of like the glass vs six pack.
A lot depends on how your brain is wired.
