Reply #52: "Unproven systems"??????

[acerbic]

We're talking about unproven systems here. When dealing with this kind of thing, it's prudent to "tinker" with an existing thing to gain the knowledge required to make it work.

I mentioned banking by phone as working systems of the kind and your objection was that the bureaucracies wouldn't work that way. I understand that if the technology didn't exist, you might have to develop and refine it gradually, but the bureaucracy????? Nope, it would be quite possible to "just do it" and easier if you're setting up a new system than trying to fight all the change resistance in an existing one.
