No one has said or implied that.

The example below is from my previous email in which I demonstrated how
to add a particular named session to the default header arguments list.
Explicitly making that particular session global.  As a side note, if
one wants to set these R defaults for a single file the following syntax
at the top of the file will suffice.

    # -*- org-babel-default-header-args:R: ((:session . "foo")) -*-

Of course not.  Trivial local experimentation could show that is not the
case.  Please actually try to run things locally before assuming that
there are non-sensical bugs and posting questions to the mailing list.

I don't think this line makes sense.  If you can spend 10 more minutes
writing an email to save the average reader one minute, please do so, as
on average many more than 10 people will read every post you send to
this list.

Thanks,
