I am not the one proposing the change, but it has been established that
at least two people find the change worthwhile, and many dictionaries
find "affect" less problematic than "impact".
You (and others) don't find the change worthline, fair enough.
But you also can't find anything wrong with the proposed change.
So let me try to explain the situation programatically:
1. ($a > $b) * 0
2. ($a = $b) * 3
3. ($a < $b) * 2
Which one should we stay with? $a or $b?
