asking "why?" is a double whammy question, the answer they are looking for is a mix of what (to do) and how to do it, whatever that 'solution' is called.

how to fix this "most-open unit of computing" will depend on "what" do you think this 'unit of compute' even means, which of course depends on who you are and what do you do with 'units of compute' (buy? sell? resell? use up? build? oversee??)
