Ah, but there's the rub. How do you make it "rare"? It either has to be an all or nothing. If you make it on a case by case basis, you are going to have hell on earth. On paper, making it rare is simplicity. In practice, it is going to be the nightmare of nightmares.

But is there a defined goal? Currently there is no real tangible goal in terms of years or numbers achieved. You might as well peg it to world peace.

Only for the less able, it is. Again, if I play golf with Tiger Woods or Arnold Palmer, is there a handicap? Usually. Why is that so? Because they are the superior player. That is all the handicap says, any way you spin it. When you compete as equals, there is no need for a handicap. There will always be less abled in the world so how would it be phased out or removed?
