I learned a phrase for missing analytical extensions today: hermeneutical 
lacunae. But the discussion on premature registration deserves a bit more 
content in light of such lacunae. The problem BC Smith brought to light was not 
*premature* registration, but *preemptive* registration. So, here, when you 
plop in a satisficing placeholder for some lacuna, you have to be able to back 
out of it if it turns out to do more bad than good. That means part of your 
"artful choice" is to avoid preempting alternatives ... avoiding lost 
opportunities to the best you can.

Violence, in general, can be reversible. Death isn't (as far as we know). And 
by "death", I really mean lost knowledge. If that gender-bending protester 
happened to be the next Alan Turing, you definitely don't want to "punish" her 
so as to preempt emanant genius.
