A little of both dishonesty, laziness, and subconsious bias. And certain
people would abuse it more than others, I think-- and of course SOME people
abusing it leads to more, when their abuse becomes apparent. And SOME become

Of course! But isn't the issue here to say what we think, rather than what
we practice? I'm not so sure of myself that I think such a happy medium
can't be found. I even said elsewhere that I wouldn't mind (in *some*
circumstances) trying the policy out were I an employer. I expect there
*are* situations where it would do well. However, my preliminary judgement
tells me that it's bound to fail when done on any large scale, and possibly
on small scales. Simply because I haven't tried it doesn't necessarily mean
I'll do it or advocate it :)
