I also agree that Kacee is right about the goal here for UA.
I didn't say I was trying to prove anything, I just think that people may be over-reacting to this.
Sorry, now you've confused me. Your own original post says:

I could see it leading to significant point inflation and thereby devaluation.
Hopefully if there is a significant devaluation we will have time to burn some miles before any change kicks in.
You're suggesting that this change doesn't change much and that there could be a significant point inflation...but also that you don't doubt that this change will reduce the total number of RDMs distributed by UA. Which is it?
As for overreacting. Well, yes, that's what the UA Forum is best at these days.
