I think the point is in the survey : the questionned persons would have
answered:
-- that they believe that Dual-script Singhala is convenient to them,
-- that Unicode Sinhala isn't easy and/or has problems,
-- that the cost of Unicode Sinhala should be eliminated by switching to
Dual-scrip Singhala
-- and that they should focus on making this "easy-to-use" Dual-script
Singhala method a standard.

The big question is what is difficult in Unicode Sinhala. Is there
anything Unicode could do to change that feeling?

What's precisely the cost of Unicode Sinhala? Does its use require a
teaching period the hack wouldn't need? Why?
