like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic

Do you mean that this forum has jumped the shark and there is no return to the "old" LW with EY, Yvain, Luke and others making insightful posts almost daily? That it has outlived its usefulness to CFAR and MIRI? Or something else?

I think it is no longer a site with useful new content.

By that standard, the solutions we're discussing would be more like repairing the hole in the side of the Titanic and pumping out the water. Perhaps the particular solution given in the OP would be rearranging the deck chairs.
