Sorry, don't take this personally, but that's the dumbest statement in
IT. No, technically, not everything is feasible.

Compare this with engineering: what you are aiming for is pretty much
like building a bridge that's 1km long but only sustained by one leg, at
one end.
Oh yeah, technically it's feasible, if you find a way to zero attraction
physics.

That's a wrong point to start with.
Do you _actually_ know, for real, how much of it is useless ?
You're saying 75%, but I would say 20%.
Without any real investigations and analysis on that, it's just a wrong
hypothesis to start with. And analyzing that is very, very tedious and
complex.

Indeed. And let me tell you that this already almost never works for
much simpler things :\

Just trying to bring some technical background into the discussion.
