...but I don't think digg would like to adapt it very much:
Assuming they implemented the system as described, forcing users only to vote for random stories, who would be interested in putting those annoying "Digg This!1ZOMG" buttons on their Site anymore? They wouldn't get any diggs for it, so I guess nobody. (Well maybe IBM, so they keep their newfound digg/reddit/whatever coolness).
Now if nobody put those buttons on their site, nobody would care about digg anymore. They'd be left with no more "whored" PR (as in PageRank), search engine result pages would be free of diggspam and everybody would be happy. Except for those diggers. The ones who decide if or not the system gets implemented.
