Well, then, you'd never have seen this terrible idea, and nor would basically anyone else. So, the terrible idea, paradoxically, works, by keeping people from seeing terrible ideas!

I had a feeling someone would point this out. But I would contend me seeing this was still good. I was able to provide feedback to the proposer, and others were able to comment and think about it as well.

At the end of the day we've all expanded our minds a bit.
