I suppose it does, a little bit.
I'm trying to be clear. You did state that you weren't consulted. You're saying that you were ignored. They are acknowledging that they heard your concerns. While I don't think they responded to those concerns in a way that you would have been satisfied with, they did in fact listen to what you had to say and researched what.... Unless what you're saying is that this document is incorrect, they did respond in a way that obviously doesn't support your position, but they did listen to what you had to say.
