Well, yeah. That would be stupid. Just like having Raul single- 
handedly decide the articles he wanted to be featured would be dumb.

Empowering David to look at a discussion and say "What the hell are  
you smoking," then to make a sane decision, on the other hand, does  
make sense. Particularly when you figure he would mostly not look  
into uncontroversial things in the first place.
