I could say the same of you. Please tell me how I failed to accurately characterize the difference between RPC and REST with respect to defining requests whose entire working URI set can't feasibly be sent over the network.

Alternatively, explain how REST can simultaneously meet the constraints of "avoid combinatorial explosion of possible URIs to explicitly present" and "every resource is accessible by following server-provided links" and "avoid unnecessary bandwidth usage".
