It's just complicated enough that it's easy to obfuscate (for oneself)
what's going on, and whether it's an improvement. Given the need to
worship technology, and the consequent love for complexity, it's easy
to be tempted to deceive oneself that MJ must be doing something
good--even if one can't say what it is.
There you go with the "motivations of the advocate" again. Didn't you
agree to hold off on that kind of speculation, back in our thread about
Condorcet and clones?
I'm not going to bother replying to the rest if you can't hold yourself
to that standard.
