Oh, I wrote that, and I still have questions.

1. Do you suppose that I meant something "funny" when wrote problem 4? It's
unclear to me from your text. Do you suppose that what I wrote to have the
largest impact to be dismissible?

2. I don't understand what is your *position* that you give a rationale below
("it does not look FUNNY" ... "I would NOT judge it to be "LOGICAL" confuses
me).

3. And the last thing: the given rationale absolutizes the approach; while e.g.
Word also may decrease page body if headers/footers grow; it's just the first
moment of insertion that actually has the psychological expectation that isn't
met in Writer. So we may actually do that without changing also the process of
growth of headers.
