Can you please explain to me ... in objective terms ... why it matters
overall (i.e., to the contest community in general) whether DC is a
multiplier or not? This is a contest, with everyone competing for the
same set of multipliers no matter how many or which ones they are. It
seems to me that the exact definition of the multipliers is more or less
arbitrary, with the only difference being that maybe you become a more
attractive contact if DC becomes a multiplier. Pardon me for thinking
that sounds just a tad self-serving of you.

DC is the only top-level political subdivision in the United States or
Canada that is not a multiplier. All the Canadian territories are
multipliers (I don't see anybody complaining that the Northwest
Territories, Yukon Territory, or Nunavut are not provinces) as is
every American territory located in North America. Puerto Rico, the U.
S. Virgin Islands, Navassa Island, and Desecheo Island are all
multipliers. Heck, a building in New York is a multiplier in this
contest, but not a federal district with 600,000 residents?
