That's probably true, and it would probably be an appropriate response from you as well.
However, you should talk with Ken Bakst about what silence from W. Ernest Coore may mean when one mentions something to him. (It appears to mean the wheels are turning but in what direction one never really knows until something ends up on the ground or not!).
But it's certainly not as if he's always silent and of no response. I once mentioned to him that I thought a particular site was a great opportunity to build a bunkerless course and after a few moments he mentioned he thought that particular site called for really good bunkering. Another time I told him I thought an architect's attempt to lead the eye to a specific feature or whatnot (particularly if it was the intended line) wasn't a great idea and he said he thought it was a good idea.
But the thing is if he'd actually built a course on that particular site it apparently would surprise noone who knows him if he built a bunkerless course that did not exactly lead the eye to important features (particularly if it was the intended line).
It appears that Bill Coore keeps an inscrutably open mind---which is of course a very good thing.
