I find your perspective interesting, but have the feeling that you are not thinking in systems (!). The sensory systems are perceptual systems, but they are subsystems of a larger "cognitive" system, and we cannot be sure that it exhibits the same logarithmic response behavior.

I would love to say that Italy is not a racist country. But it is. Still, your words convey a deeper gap and racial segregation in the US.

I feel sorry you had borne all these wounds to your social identity, but I'm sure one day we will tackle the very roots of inequality and bigotry.

That's the reason Scala doesn't guarantee backwards compatibility for major releases. Of course, there is always someone who complaints about it not being enterprise ready.
