"Those who don't want something find reasons, those who want something find ways."

This is very astute. I do agree this reflects the majority of my opposition, because I do not wish to be ruled by a mob. It is a fundamental problem I have with democracy, and all institutions and hierarchies. Submitting to majority rule is the trap I refer to.

However, I must concede there are circumstances where we are trapped, where we must be part of the strongest mob we can join, and in such circumstances I do like SC better than merely being offered a choice between assent or dissent. But we do not list all the restaurants in our city and choose items from their menus every day when we eat lunch. We greatly simplify such decisions for practical reasons, which is what I meant when I said we had shit to do.

"The method merely makes visible in numbers what people do anyway as individuals without nailing it down on numbers."

More than four or five options seems very difficult to rank to me, and was the basis for my pointing out that there are saints, demons, and the rest of us are good, bad, or indifferent. I try to correctly assign ranking, so find ranking things I poorly understand the differences between and seem similar in consequence quite frustrating. Is there no way to halve the list functionally, perhaps clustering like items that can be sorted in a subsequent ranking should that be necessary? Maybe I am ADHD, or more stupid than most, but I suspect participation in your experiment here would be far greater with a shorter list to rank.
