It's not only possible, but usual in many technical settings. There
is no reason (or excuse) for getting emotionally attached to language
design proposals. In my decades of work on language design committees,
I have often made language proposals, and then the ensuing technical
discussion shows they are a bad idea, and they get dropped, no problem,
and I have seen this happen with many other people.
If you can't operate objectively, you really don't belong being involved
in a language design discussion.
