Well said! And no hostility intended!
I still don't see why we cannot simply output a (possibly rather
verbose) message in the echo area when emacs is started with a file
name arg.
Such a message disappears automatically on the first key-press, so
even though some users may still find it annoying, it doesn't get in
the way of editing the file.
