1)	Subjective

2)	Also subjective, and prone to measurement bias: happy people do
	not complain, ipso facto it is impossible to measure the
	"net happiness" a change will cause.

3)	Any soloution implemented with the consent of the discussion
	participants meets this criteria.  Do you grant your consent?
