Please, why would it be silly?
It is only in the logic of tech development (with all the fine 
enthusiasm already at work in engineering skimmer setups quality will 
improve very quickly).

All of us insisting here that there should be a remarkable "human" 
element in contesting are told that it is a tech hobby. I can only refer 
again to sailing sports where they are so evil to "freeze" technology 
not allowing engines in their sailboat categories and marathon runners 
being so evil to still not allow wheel chairs with engines in the 
regular runner´s categories.
Are they all "Amish"-like people?
