However, if the 'wrong' line isn't drawn somewhere, we're just doing random, willy-nilly development. This is just as bad for innovation since progress is random. It's also just as bad for general acceptance of diversity, since you'll quickly run out of people to accept the diversity if nothing substanially interesting arises.


I wholeheartedly agree with that. However, the point makes for rather boring discussion. It essentially makes any argument invincible, the conversation ends, and none of us come away any wiser...

I'd say the more interesting approach would be to identify who you're trying to appeal to, and figure out the best way to appeal to them. We haven't identified the target group yet, but given that how most dikus handle lights isn't going to be the best way to appeal to (m)any people, we can say with probabilistic certainty that it is uninteresting - probabily because it is oversimplified.
