One thing that might need to be considered about this is what about people
with disabilities? If we take the mundane conviences they need too far out
are we not making our events inhospitable for them?

Actually I could almost deal with something like this, if wwe could find
some way of certifing people as experts capable of evaluating something.
The ones that really frost my coconuts are the yuzes who's only source is
something they think they heard while drunk at a fire in some even 4 years
ago.

Is this actually soemthing we want to try to encourage? If it is done well
it can be rather nice, but not one person in 10 can do it weel, and when it
is done poorly it really sucks.
