so we have three schools of thought here:
A) everyone will never be happy so there's no point in putting any energy in making the system better
B) Portsmouth Stinks and we should use a measurement-only system
C) Our existing diametrically opposed systems can be improved by merging the two and utilizing the strengths from one to offset the weaknesses of the other.
Though I agree that someone somewhere will always be griping, it's no reason to not make a system better than it is currently. C sure seems to make the most sense to me.
