Which part of my explanation did you find unconvincing?

If you were to say that implementing trampolines might be complex
or difficult, then I won't argue with you.  Implementing trampolines
is a non-trivial task, and whether or not the benefits are sufficient
to justify the additional implementation complexity is certainly debatable.

But if you say that it can't be done, then I must refer you to my
previous explanation of how it can be done, and ask you which part
of it you did not believe or did not understand.
