It's quite vicious but true - if you have re-invented one of the schemes
mentioned in there, it probably won't be well received unless you include
with it *both* of the the following:

a) An indication that you've read and understood the literature describing why
the idea was shot down the last time it was suggested.

b) A *new* way of dealing with the issue that eliminates the difficulty.
