Hi Daniel,

Not sure how I can do this when someone doesn't want to read up on
the kref infrastructure. Can you help?

When someone starts off with "My understanding of ..." (as in the OP) you know you're
in trouble and in for a rough times.

Such is the nature of world-wide open-to-everyone mailing lists where
anyone can put forth an argument, regardless of their level of understanding.
The more obfuscated an argument, the more uncertainty.

If one knows the kref infrastructure, it just clicks, no explanation
necessary.

Regards,
Luben
