If a single person does it, that isn't at problem as long as no one else wants to do it. Then it is "reality". If a single person does it, and the rest cannot do it except for forking it and become another "single person doing it", that's a _huge_ problem and that model is unlikely to be successful as it would require a brilliant person who can accomplish wonders with no help from anyone else. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
