And we'd have even less issues if software patents were only valid for 0 years (i.e. not exist).

And then hire reviewers with a mindset to reject if it doesn't clearly describe how to recreate a process properly, or isn't unique or non-obvious. I think another extension to the standard for patent-ability should be does this patent make something less effective (as is often the case with extension patents).
