I would be interested in hearing what you objection would be to using
loose tenons.
Just don't like them. I like the classical mortise and
tenon.
Of course, I'm not a production shop cutting thousands of
mortises a year, so I can afford to be old school. I cut
my tenons by hand with a Lie-Neilsen tenon saw most of
the time, something else you wouldn't do.
J. Clarke's 400-odd mortise and tenons, spread over 3 or 4
years as he appears to envision, seems to me practical to
do in the classical way.

An absolute valid reason. ;~)
