Soooo....

it would be significantly easier for us to update the clients with a fix than it would be for an ISP to update their hardware/software to detect any such changes we make.
...what. You're buying yourself a couple months. I mean, just go download TCP view and watch how BT acts. I don't think it would be very hard to figure out if a client is using BT based on how BT port usage looks and throttle based on that.

Asking those who disagree with you to find support of your arguements is like asking an assailant if you can borrow his gun.

I agree with you. The vendors that sell packet shaping hardware and software can make changes pretty much as fast as bit torrent vendors can figure ways around it. And the vendors have an advantage. Most of the users won't adapt to the new encrypted bit torrent software as fast as an ISP can roll it out to their much more limited switches.
