I'm sure many are grateful for your detailed explanation, but to me, the
length and complexity of the explanation is simple proof that Sun really
took a big step backwards by adding generics to Java.

Java used to be KISS. Adding inner classes was already a dangerous departure
from the KISS beauty and power of Java 1.0. The "geniuses" who crippled Java
with generics forgot why Java was created in the first place. Shame on them.
Java is quickly turning into what it was originally designed to improve on:
C++ !
