> Didn't Dr. Bob already make it pretty clear he wasn't going to change his mind about the blocks?
He ended up saying he would need a 'good reason' to change his mind. His only objection to the notion was that the 'equilibrium' may be thrown off. But it is unclear that 1) That is inevitable and 2) What the hell that means anyway. He didn't comment on the reasons that were offered. I suppose one can only assume that they didn't seem good to him. Not that he said why they weren't any good or anything like that...
But yeah, I think you are right.
I can be too much of an optimist sometimes.>I don't even think he brought the topic up. I don't think he's ever said he wanted us to decide most things either.
He does talk about Babble being 'more democratic'. Mostly when people are upset with some of his decisions.
The suggestion that he should fairly much 'leave us to it' tends to be enough to have people back off and stop voicing being upset with some of his decisions.
Useful strategy I suppose...
