You don't get it. If you are trying to get your rifle weight down, a half pound isn't a small amount. And i don't even care, it's not me i'm defending. I can say, without even knowing you, that i am in better shape than you. Forget it, just use what you want, and let others use what they want. No one's trying to tell you that you have to use the wsm or wssms, just don't knock it if you don't have solid facts.
