1. Allow all candidates to watch a short debate of experts -- with a fraud or two thrown in -- and ask them to evaluate what they just heard and why they reached the conclusion they did.
That's certainly true of probably most undergraduate courses and some graduate courses, but at a certain point, how many people can be taking classes or researching on an extremely focused subject? As a math student, I noticed that prices of textbooks with some exception (e.g. calculus textbooks) remain the same, despite a considerable drop in the number of people who would even understand the subject matter.
Not saying you're wrong, but I figured there wouldn't be a huge market on say, Lie Algebras and Representation Theory, whereas Harry Potter, a book nearly every literate kid wants sells for a more reasonable price. I have no grasp on the economics of this situation.
Yeesh. My post was grammatically incorrect, it was suppose to be "I was born in Korea (RoK) and moved to the United States at the age of 2." Nor did I specify that my friend was natively born in the US.
On a personal level, I was born in Korea (RoK) at the age of 2, and moved to the United States, I hold no allegiance or title to another country, no more than say my native born Korean friend. Now not that I'm going to run for president, but why should he be allowed to run while I cannot?
only episode 4 of the original trilogy was directed by Lucas, the second trilogy was directed by him, the third trilogy therefore should be directed by someone better. If I can recall correctly he doesn't even like directing... (this post is just to state the obvious)
It was my opinion that because of his lack of experience, he would have been easily manipulated, but I suppose it's turning out (for the better) that I'm wrong.

I personally like this.

I'm pretty sure since I became a US citizen, I have no more legal standing than you would in RoK. I'm not a dual-citizen, if that helps.

well depending on your political affiliations, Milton Friedman or John Keynes.
Don't publishers and authors also benefit from more books? And why would a trilogy bulk up the individual books of the series?

I thought capitalism was completely based on the idea of letting things run their course, regardless of whether competition exists or not.
Who would implement those changes? What if someone didn't agree? Doesn't this demand that radical change in human nature?
