That's the upside of the whole thing; for the moment and probably forever it will remain a fantasy. Therefore, I do not have to worry about the details or the consquences if such a policy was instituted. Even so, I am planning to take the time to explain how I would define and determine "too set" to think straight. But I will do it later.

However we get around that by designing a test to eliminate those scientists. who would be corrupted, from participating. THe only problem is deciding who will design this test. Maybe we can make a test for that too.
