And greedy algorithms always fail to reach max optimization. Balance is the gist of the article. I can't possibly stay sane _and_ write something if I have to account for every possible reception by every possible buyer of that data. There are too many variables in play, and the data is too easily bought and sold. If we don't regulate, the least scrupulous agent will overtake the competition and it's Thunderdome beyond that. Do you want to joust for your supper, because I don't.
