Good stuff Sara!

The obvious drawback in Bridcut's argument is that you'd need 60 million opinions to keep everyone in Britain completely happy (that's questionable). That's what I was alluding to with "Digital People",unless we can all say yea or all say nay, then there is a problem.

In computing there is a technique called Fuzzy Logic aka Machine Learning.It's based on the way that humans reason and uses a scale of 1 to 10 rather than the normal 0 and 1. We all use F.L. every and all day to make decisions, we don't wake up and think I'll buy a new car today without weighing up the wider implications, food for kids, mortgages etc. On a scale of 1-10 we rarely get anywhere near the 1 or ten,more likely 3 to 8 which most are comfortable with. I guess that is the target that the BBC is aiming at, sort of "you might not like it but we hope you don't hate it"!

   There will of course be some 1s and 10s in the audience (usually the noisiest) and I'm afraid the answer to them has to be "tough" or "sorry" if one is feeling polite :0)
. Basically it's learned bigotry,it can't be stamped out except by another bigot,but it can be ignored as they are a minority and the tail can't be allowed to wag the dog.
