mk's ego is not made of glass. By posting this he chooses to welcome criticism of all types, positive and negative, emotional, intellectual, informed, ignorant, and downright batshit insane. He asked for our genuine thoughts, I offered mine. They are not a criticism of him or this website, but only of his idea. If you read my third comment on this chain, the very first line to it is . . .

    I really don't want you to take this personally, because I respect you and value this website, apparently more than i thought because the very concept of this system fills me with dread.

To which mk responds . . .

    Don't worry. I don't take it personally in the least, and I appreciate you sharing the concern.

So no. I am not trying to be rude. I am however, deeply, deeply concerned about this idea.

Also, see my second comment on this comment chain. Even if the experiment itself goes well, the actual concept in practice itself has the potential to go horribly wrong.
