Good point.
And he has made changes. It's not like he is against doing it, but you have to have a pretty convincing argument.
Yup. And there are certain things he's simply immobile on. Switch time, ENY, and 3 sided fight seem to be the ones that come up the most often.
IMO if he thinks it's a good idea, nobody's going to talk him out of it. If he doesn't think it's a good idea, you better have facts, not extrapolation and conjecture to back you up. Even then, it might still be a "no".
As for Buzzsaw, about all I can say is I've been here around 10 years or so and I've never hated a map in this game until Buzzsaw. I liked Trinity, I liked Fester. I find Buzzsaw annoying, if for no other reason than the way people react to it.
