Yes, but with the passionate responses we see here, especially with 
the H/H vs R/H ships why should we not expect to see those who are 
anti-D/H.  They may not advocate another ship in it's place, but 
just as those who favor D/H should be free to speculate upon the 
subject, those who oppose the ship should be just as free to refute 
it.
