I am saying other people can try a new system, but I don't have time to
try something different when no evidence has been given that it is
better (just different).

I realized when I said, "we can try" that I was being inconsistent, but
I was just saying that if others want to try something, go ahead. I
personally don't see how it will improve things, but if others want to
spend time on it, they are welcome to do that.

What I am not willing to do is to abandon a system that works for one
that doesn't have evidence it is an improvement, and I don't want to
spend time on a new system just for the sake of trying to do two systems
at once.
