Eliezer:

"Will, your example, good or bad, is universal over singletons, nonsingletons, any way of doing things anywhere."

I guess there is significant difference - for singleton, each mistake can be fatal (and not only for it).

I believe that this is the real part I dislike about the idea, except the part where singleton either cannot evolve or cannot stay singleton (because of speed of light vs locality issue).
