Not necessarily! The idea is that we need "scoring" to determine who is "in" or "out". Also, a scoring system can be tweaked over time to make it conform more closely to our goals.
My final thought of the day (actually the next day here;) Why not say "the upper 5% of users, sorted by points, are IN"?
Would give the hard-working class the privileges the commies always promised ;)
