That last sentence hit the nail right on the head. You believe your system to be less flawed, we all believe it to be more flawed. You have been unable to convince us that, in practice, it would be a less flawed system than the one we have now. If you were to come up with a system that we felt to be less flawed you wouldn't be getting the same arguments. Nobody here is arguing that the way things work now is the best way and therefore irreplaceable. |
