Same rows, different peal because the rows come in a different order. At this point you are acually changing what is rung and not just the description/interpretation and while it's obviously not as nice/elegant as a normal extent of triples, i wouldn't be so bothered about it as it is clearly not described or describable as Stedman triples.
Either way, you still have a similar thing in your proposals, truth is partly determined by wheather you choose to describe the rows at stage N or N+1. Your objections against this are purely subjective and i don't see how this is that different from inserting an extent of minor into a touch of triples, when it's looked at objectively. I thought that one of the primary purposes of these new decisions was to get rid of subjectiveness and value-judgements, and you are proposing to let them dictate one of the most important concepts.

The doubles probably wasn't a very good idea, i don't know, but someone else might be able to come up with something better that needs the same freedom.

Don't worry, i don't like beer anyway, i know it's virtually blasphemy, but i can't stand the stuff!
