Hmmm, see also, from Kent Crispin here:

It seems the dirtiest of the dirty words is 'democracy'.

One can hardly wait for the results of this experiment
that Joe Sims says has never been tried before. If it
isn't democracy, which has been tried (and elsewhere
found to work badly, but better than all the others),
what is it?

BTW, it's too bad they won't 'show their work' as I'm
curious to find out more on this hitherto undiscovered
byfield effect that broke their apparatus last time. -g
