<Flammie> convincing arguments come through empirical evidence of real world data
<Flammie> almost only flag diacritics that give sizable growth in elimination are those examples in karttunen's finnish numerals
<Flammie> besides, flags were meant to serve two totally independent uses that have no relation, optimisation and the morphotactics, they should not be interlinked
<Flammie> iff one of the +- tags defined in spectre's scheme actually gives any measurable growth, then we can come up with hyperminimisation scheme
<Flammie> having linguists write flags and think that they're doing positive impact to automaton size is as much non-sense as you'd ask python programmer to optimise code by inline assembly
