cannot argue against the the rationale presented or the logic of the conclusion it leads too,
my opposition (to the DH) is as much aesthetic as anything else, based on Abner (Doubleday)'s original conception of the game - supposed to be 9 on 9.
and face it, as you grew up, even well into HS ball, the pitchers were usually also the best hitters SSs, 3bs, or OFs, even Cs and thos players were rarely relegated to 2b or 1b, so I take the point about the game being intended to have 9 good hitters in the lineup
but I remember the old Prime 9 show MLB network used to air ( I think it was MLB network) remember how it made 9 an iconic element of baseball lore?
9 is baseball - it is a 9 on 9 game, the DH ruins that. it is an aesthetic perspective
bottom line: DH leagues s/b $90m cap.
