  • Some questions to challenge your proposal:

    1. What test, specifically, do we implement to tell whether or not someone “know[s] the most basic of facts”?
    2. How do we make sure that this test is kept up-to-date as information changes?
    3. Who administers this test?
    4. When is the test administered?

    No matter how I try to answer these questions in a way that’s consistent with reality, all my ideas dead-end at outcomes that suck and only get worse over time.













  • you cant say it doesnt do exactly what you want.

    As someone (a different guy than whom you’re replying to) who has primarily used Linux-based systems in personal settings for about 15 years or so, I can and will say that.

    For the most part, Linux-based systems tend to do exactly what you tell them to do. Whether or not this is exactly what you want, however, is a slightly different point.
