Fortunately, some of us *with* brains thought it too simple.  If one is

Who says it has failed?  Just because it hasn't succeeded within your
constraints of time means nothing.  I'll wait until the fat lady sings
before throwing in my towel.

Don't mistake apathy with disapproval.  I can well imagine why the
majority of nodes have little interest.  Care for me to enumerate the
reasons (as I understand them), of can you infer them for yourself?

Expecting immediate gratification in this case is dangerous.  There
are many toll boothes to pass before reaching our destination.
