I was commenting on the impression I get from reading comments here, on Twitter, blog posts etc. When the topic used to come up, for example in response to the Florida fiasco in the election of 2000, the response was almost universally negative.

But I’m worried what such reports will say in 2030 if the arguments I made above are not universally understood.
