It is not possible for me to work any harder on anything than I have
worked on this problem. I do not deny the existence of the problem.
But I believe that we have greatly mitigated it in the last few
release cycles, and that much of what remains is a problem of
perception, not reality.

You can disagree, but if no one has the energy to find real examples
and talk about them, then it is hard to see how we will be able to
improve the situation.
