Changed around line 31: I am unaware of an encyclopedia sorted topologically.
+ A topologically sorted encyclopedia would also be _hard to vary_. Computational logic tests would trigger if someone tried to add non-sense to a low level piece.
+
+ And when revolutionary new low-level scientific insights are discovered that refine our models, you can actually numerically see and measure the downstream impact of those breakthroughs.

- The scary part about muting the market is the branch you are pioneering may be a dead end. It is a lot of work to see so many branches ahead to figure out if it's a path the market should go down. You don't want to blaze a trail to a dead-end, but even worse would be to mislead passengers down a dead-end trail. But perhaps sometimes it must be done.
