Not in all the cases IMHO. Sometimes a newbie is lacking experience and be might not be aware of that. He might get overconfident and cause troubles for other and himself. This is where "shepherd" would have helped.
I had few mentors that just knew when to help out and what questions are on my mind and that helped a lot.
This is still quite a defeat IMHO. The vote was won just by a margin of 40 votes. The real deal will cover up in September. If the margin gets smaller - were kinda busted. If the negative votes increases - well, the internet might be saved.
Now only money talks and who takes which side will decide onto the rest.
We kinda have big weather fluctuations these days (Referring to global warming). How long till we have record wave fluctuations? You better get your surfboards ready.
Expressing freedom is getting more easy tho. Imagine rapping or punk'in priest in medieval times lol. Let's hope seen we will see some DJs and Electronic music.
The idea seems ok, but let's do this in practice. High costs, small efficiency. Especially I like to think about what happens if one part breaks. Now you just have to change the wheel, but in this case, you would have to spend precious time while getting to the problem and then fixing it. Seems really unpractical.
