I love your image of adding a washing machine to a car.

Subject: Re: [OSList] Less that Open Space
Over the 30 or so Open Spaces that I've facilitated, there have been occasional
organizers who have asked about changing this or that part of the process. They
are always with the best intentions.
Now, when someone wants to change something, I tell them that it's kind of like
having a car that works reliably, so let's improve it by adding a washing
machine.
You can do it. And it still might get you somewhere, but probably not quite as
smoothly as it did before.
Plus, your clothes are likely to smell funny.
