    Abbie,

    The jist of the points made in this thread can be summed up as: "what is the rationale for using RAND mode for this TC".
    In all of the responses that I've seen thus far from those such as yourself who advocate the RAND mode is: "because".
    Jeff's note below asks some compelling questions. Frankly, I don't think that your responses address the points he made
    or the questions he posed.

    As Jeff points out, it is one thing to use RAND for an effort for which it is reasonably expected that the output will
    read on Essential Claims for which the owner of said claims wishes to charge a royalty. Again, that is their prerogative.
    That is not the point of the pushback here. Those who are questioning the choice of RAND mode are really trying to
    understand how a set of _requirements_ would include content that read on Essential Claims of some member(s) of the
    TC?
