Not really. Certainly not from this. Things can generally be lumped into four categories:

  • Obviously a bad idea.
  • A bad idea, but not intuitively so, and people have been convinced it's a good one.
  • A good idea, but not intuitively so, and people have been convinced it's a bad one.
  • So unobvious that I can't sort it into any of the above categories.
