I think I'm referring to this message:

As he was referring me to generic methods, I inferred that I should be

Agreed.  I actually prefer the "generation" nomenclature, as it has a
more direct/straightforward interpretation.  ("speed=1" vs
"generation=1"; the latter is a much bigger clue, IMHO.)

As always, thanks for the review and insight!
