          This is quite possibly the most dystopian thing I've seen in an already dystopian year. I'm speechless.

          It's not like this hasn't been tried many times before. If it gets adopted widely, it will become right, because it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. It will create deception by mistaking correlation for causation -- and *turning* correlation into causation.

          I'm a little skeptical this is real. Or maybe it is, but I doubt it's workable.
