    It’s collapsed a bunch of times.

    The sudden, often arbitrary, and devastating failures make up much of the case for why the system is bad.

      Is the system bad? Sure.

      Will a good system finally show up? Doubt.

      Those collapses you mentioned haven’t lead to a worthwhile system, have they?

      Collapse is meaningless on its own.

        People try new things. Sometimes those things work.

        The problem isn’t that ideas are floated and failed. It’s that systems calcify around people in privileged positions.
