Bad analogy. That’s like suggesting we give racers in the next race an advantage because of what happened in the current race, which creates obvious unfair outcomes.

- Morgawr 4y agoThat's not what they are suggesting. That's what you came up with as a solution for the problem which they presented. You're arguing against your own conclusion.

- Morgawr 4y agoThe implication might be obvious because that might be the most immediate solution to an evident problem. Just because the analogy works and you don't like the (obvious) solution it doesn't mean we should throw out the baby with the bathwater in the process.
