What about all the other points?
Such as the monopoly/publicity contradiction that this thread is about?

such as the "ludicrousness" of patenting a "technical solution" and at the
same time allowing the public disclosure of its description, which
consists in a computer program.

Why are you so selective about discovering contradictions?  
why is it that such a contradiction is "ludicrous" only if it leads to the
granting of less patents?
