This sounds oddly similar to the tactics of the Trisolaran's in "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin.

"Trisolarans developed the Sophon technology (a word amalgamation of Sophia, meaning "wisdom", and Proton, consisting of a supercomputer embedded into a single proton that could fold itself to eleven space dimensions), with plans for two such Sophons to secure the complete lockdown of Earth's scientific research and development.

I wanted to see picture of the tunnel, shame there isn't one.

Or because console gamers don't want to deal with those of us willing to play at a desk. We all know that a mouse is more accurate and that mouse versus controller isn't a fair match. So, the people who sit on a couch or what have you with their controller playing on there 50" plasma tv would have to move to a desk with a keyboard and mouse to remain competitive, which, they understandably don't want to do. Each method of control has its benefits, I certainly wouldn't want to try and balance a keyboard on my lap and attempt to use the couch cushion beside me for my mouse. So, the controller is an all-one-in input device useful for not tethering yourself down by needing a large flat surface. Still, I'm a PC gamer, even if it means sitting 2 feet from my 24" LCD at my desk.

Unless you are saying we are all born with an innate ability to determine if all possible actions are right and wrong, and thus also say that all possible actions do in fact have a single, unequivocal answer to the question "Is this right?". If you are saying all of that, sure you are right.

However, if you aren't, then there is good use to discussing ethical issues. If we are finite being incapable of omnipotence, then admitting that we don't know the answer ourselves is a fairly intelligent act compared to flipping a coin. There may be options that one doesn't see on there own, that are far better and will be though up through intelligent discussion.

Reminds me of an episode of "Better Off Ted" called "Test Tube Meat" where they have to figure out a way to exercise there lump of grown meat because the unexercised attempt it tasted like "despair".

As a researcher every day pretty much, lol.

According the Library of Congress' website they have approximately 32 million books. A bit of googling turned up that an average book weight about 12 ounces. So, 32 million * 12 ounces = 10,886,216.9 kilograms
