   "... imagined ... expecting ... foreign to me"

There you admit that you have limited knowledge of and experience with RA/RM. Further, you admit that you were aware of your own ignorance (by itself a good thing). Yet all the while you threw out absolute (and wrong) claims such as:

   "Something important like searching for a given    sub-string is actually quite difficult to specify    in the RA."

Does that seem dishonest or stupid to you?

To me you seem quite intelligent; so don't act stupid. Take a chill pill and stop using words like "onus". Do that and you can probably learn much here and some of us (certainly including me) may also learn much from the process.
