Figuring out "the system" is not the entirety of the issue. This was
the crux of a talk I proposed for a SOTM US a few years ago that was
rejected- how we can more use our limited resources to get a better
result in the map by focusing on (or growing) the top mappers, rather
than on one off casual mappers.

Sadly the politics of this view was just too radical for the talk to
be accepted (as I was told later).
