The more I think about this, the better I like it.  I'm starting to
wonder why I didn't think of it before :-)

Today I read that the great George Marshall
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Marshall
used to ask, "but how could we be wrong?"

If there is any single question that might produce greatness, I think
this is it.  It directly counter-acts the confirmation bias that
plagues us all.

In that spirit, I invite us all to think of ways that this suggestion,
appealing though it is, might not be good.

But then don't we have to clone the "uncloned" nodes?  We can't simply
move them: that could cause chaos.
