I think a lot of folks get the basic necessity of the weirs, but a more vocal minority prefers to trumpet an oversimplified version that basically represents the tendency to dumb down the nuances of an issue in public policy discussions.
There is room for disagreement and wide viewpoints, but I think the view I articulated above is sound from a scientific and management viewpoint, and is the one most likely to result in helping the lake by increasing the number of days each year the weirs are open.
Sentiments like "blow up the weirs" may gather some popular support among frustrated anglers, but these sentiments are unlikely to yield helpful changes in the operation.
The goals can be high and lofty, but the tone of the discussion should be sober, moderate, and well-informed.
