We've ran over the reasons and they have appeared as fit for this idea. It can be prejudged as "nowhere near a good solution"; but for it to actually be that, it would need solid reasoning that people agree on. Reasoning is also needed to be able to figure out which conditions are fit for another solution; that way, the other solutions could be shaped with the help of that feedback to make the other solutions better. > The /dev/null comment was about wanting others to do the work and not > contributing anything more than (imo) a stupid idea The idea moves work from one place to another, which yields the same amount of work; your work statement seems like another topic, which you are making basic assumptions on. Solutions to the stated actual problem are neglected, as more time for research and consideration is needed. To get on the topic of your work statement; consider that one can find 7 people whom each have one arm configuration much faster than one can find 1 person that has all of them. > if you aren't willing to put in the work, don't expect others to.
