Depends on what that .01% is, and what that 20% is, yes.

- dllthomas 13y agoI'm not sure what you're saying.
- diminoten 13y agoIf occasionally your 99.9% system of government lets slip a tyrant during its 0.01% of failure, it's a worthless system of government. If your 20% system of government prevents all such egregious acts, then it's more effective than your 99.9% government.
- dllthomas 13y agoThat is not what I was saying. Read my comment again.
- diminoten 13y agoI did, and I stand by what I said. Mostly because 'egregious' isn't actually a measurement of a government's performance. It's entirely subjective.
- dllthomas 13y agoYou're ducking the actual question, then.
- diminoten 13y agoHowso?
- dllthomas 13y agoSorry, forget this subthread, my brain wasn't working as well it might. A part of my objection was better expressed by dragonwriter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6066608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6066608) and I've replied there with the rest.
