- What about those who become crackpots over time? should there
- be a special weighted index based on mental collapse over time??
-
- i.e.:
-
- I've read about ALBERT einstein (capitalization, it's starting to happen)
- weight 1.1
-
- I'VE met ALBERT EinStien (increasingly worse)
- weight 1.5
-
- I AM albert EINSTEINs' GHOST I was Wrong about Relativity (gross neglect of
- the brain during formidable years!!)
- weight 2.0
-
-
-
- I would imagine the program would have to keep a file of most common
- abusers. As the index increased, so would the weight. This way just in
- case someone like Hannu came back and said something normal(not likely),
- then he would still score higher than if Dale had said something.
- (maybe not?).
