Yes, it is very hard to go back and fix the layers upon layers of misunderstandings that have accumulated over the past 400 years. At some poine you just have to let the accountants and lawyers do the math and let the chips fall where they may. I have no idea what would be the result, but the math is the math, the math is what it is. Yes, we should not be forgetting our illustrious high school math teacher, Mr. Schoenberg. Better to do the math first than argue endlessly about stupid stuff to no effect.
