Re: "straightforward, reasonable, and fair"

Keith - thanks for the pointer to "Harrison Bergeron".  Coincidentally,
I was trying to recall this story in a conversation recently and had
forgotten the details and the author...

But, I don't see how it applies here.  I'm not claiming "Nobody was
smarter than anybody else."  Yakov explained it better than I have: "for
each AD there is more than one person in the IETF who is more
technically astute than that AD. So, why should the IETF decision
process favor opinion of such AD more than the opinion of these other
individual who are more astute that the AD ?"

  It is too straightforward, reasonable and fair.

and with my sarcasm mode turned off:

  This sounds like an excellent suggestion.

  It is straightforward, reasonable and fair.

why am I reminded of "Harrison Bergeron" ?  (if you haven't read it,  
google for it)

or for that matter _Atlas Shrugged_?  (not that I agree with Rand on  
everything, but she had this one pegged)
