We've ran over the reasons and they have appeared as fit for this idea. |

|
| 11 |
It can be prejudged as "nowhere near a good solution"; but for it to |
| 12 |
actually be that, it would need solid reasoning that people agree on. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Reasoning is also needed to be able to figure out which conditions are |
| 15 |
fit for another solution; that way, the other solutions could be shaped |
| 16 |
with the help of that feedback to make the other solutions better. |

The idea moves work from one place to another, which yields the same |
| 22 |
amount of work; your work statement seems like another topic, which you |
| 23 |
are making basic assumptions on. Solutions to the stated actual problem |
| 24 |
are neglected, as more time for research and consideration is needed. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
To get on the topic of your work statement; consider that one can find |
| 27 |
7 people whom each have one arm configuration much faster than one can |
| 28 |
find 1 person that has all of them. |

If you are unwilling to work towards solutions, don't expect others to. |
