@Dr. Shazam- yeah I was considering posting this in the forum for wider discussion because it's a thing I've pondered in a more general way. But I wanted to ask Nick about it first since it directly concerned one of his designs. But yeah, please repost this to the forum or start a new thread on the subject. It definitely deserves wider discussion.
