Not much. It feels reasonable on the inside, but in outside view, everyone is chanting slogans.

That's what makes the landmine process so nefarious. If only one person is chanting slogans, it's just a cached thought, but if the response is also a cached thought and causes more, the conversation is derailed and people aren't thinking anymore. (though as Qiaochu says, using chached thoughts is usually not bad).

Maybe my self deprecation was too subtle? I'm going to fix it, but internet explorer is too shitty to fix it right now.
