     Generic Good Advice: remove in this context means "move somewhere"
not "delete"; you can always delete it later, if it turns out you had
correctly diagnosed the problem and this fixes it.  But if the actual
problem is something else, it's nice to be able to undo the
inappropriate "fixes."  I'm not saying that you and David aren't both
spot on (I have no way to know), just that caution is most important
when you are least likely to exercise it.
