> The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

- Douglas Adams (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe)

I think the truth in this humor is quite relevant to those in whom you're placing your hope.

> The only hope is honorable experience and strong leadership.

That's absolutely the wrong thing to wait around for, since the world will burn while you wait.

What makes you say it wouldn't work? Why would waiting for honorable experience prevail over an algorithm designed to play to the standard participant?

Insisting that the only possible fix is perfection is a wonderful excuse for doing nothing at all.

OK, maybe humans will eventually be perfected. In the meantime, we need solutions we can implement with the humans we have now.

I think it has potential, but I can see where if there are two players, they could "trade horses" and still keep on gerrymandering. Still, I think it potentially could work and would be worth trying out.
