However, you only brought your personal opinion for the case that
'impact' is somehow wrong and should be changed. 'impact' and 'affect'
are equally good based on the past discussion so you will not bring
change based on the 'badness' of 'impact'.

You claim that people who do not want to change 'impact' ignore your
opinion.

Don't you equally ignore the opinion of people who think 'impact' is
fine by insisting that the wording be changed based solely on your
opinion?
