Iceman if you read the comments then you know someone already posted this scenario, which were systematically rebutted. If you can't give a reasoned argument about why CLI would be worse in that scenario then I can't take your vote seriously.
Saying you need pre-re to defeat larger opponents isn't a fair argument, as CLI doesnt prevent that from happening, and nothing is currently stopping the larger opening from nullifying your pre-re with a castle pass. Without CLI in that scenario you're obviously in a worse position defensively.
