On a more philosophical note, we seem to have a different approach. It's my impression that you want to construct an idealised perfect system, and then find a way of applying it down to the real world. I seem to be coming up with tools that would allow people to take approximate "practical" ideas that have no idealised versions, and apply them in ways that are less likely to cause problems.

Would you say that is a fair assessment?
