Comment Re:North Pole (Score 1) 496

The question is very much correct. There's three tiers of answers that one can provide. The first and most trivial is the north pole. The second would be these rings of points around the south pole. The third and most correct answer is to specify one point in those rings around the south pole. The third answer demonstrates knowledge of the range of valid points while still specifying where you are.

It does not. You failed to answer the base question, "Where are you?" If you give a range of answers, which is what you are suggesting, then you don't know where you are only where you could be.

The correct answer would be to arbitrarily select on of the points in a circle around the south pole. That demonstrates that you are aware that there are multiple answers but you at least decided where you are.

Regardless of which end of the problem you focus on it's not prudent to build the windmills. Putting up a potential known hazard to an endangered species, regardless of if you're addressing the root causes is not a good way to help encourage population growth. The windmills being dangerous to condors is only a non-issue if the condor population is stabilized and healthy enough to not be considered endangered.

You're suggesting to add expensive testing for every child to detect for some known issues that occur in approximately 1:1,000,000 children and this testing isn't likely to grab known issues. How much do you think that one in a million child receives in compensation for a bad vaccine? Divide that by a million and that tells you how cheap that testing needs to be to be worthwhile.
