[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7786646, member: 6804070"] Do you understand the impracticality of this? This is like asking Twitch to pre-screen every live stream. The human resource capital required to screen every product and compare its content to every other product is huge. The investment in software and computer algorithms required to approach such a solution is prohibitive, and in itself would prove a significant concern for privacy if such capabilities exist because of what they could be used for. Do you ask the Library of Congress to verify no book it accepts has any plagiarized content before they accept it into the archive? Of course not. [HR][/HR] Anyway, to the OP. I found flaws in Flaylock's arguments. For instance stating that public sources on a cyclops says they are strong and dumb, but he then goes on to say their is no creativity in the resulting stats. But why? I mean what mythological source says that a cylcop's strength is 22? Why not 21 or 23? There is a decision made their, just like with every other numerical value. They are not givens. The mechanics of the systems does not say, 'a strength of 22 is defined at the strength of am mythological one-eyed giant'. Like every lawyer, he is arguing his case from a biased point of view. That the adversarial approach to law that the US system relies upon. He only states those views that seem to support his side, and ignores anything that pokes holes it. [/QUOTE]
