      Well, just the fact that it’s 100% transparent is a step forward compared to the stock exchange as it is at the moment and otherwise your comment also applies to the stock exchange as it is working now…

        “we made the plane 100% transparent! now you can tell if the pilots are doing anything bad, it’s a major step forward. also it doesn’t really fly now”

          the plane’s made of perspex and the wires are salt-soaked strings wrapped in liquorice strips for isolation but it’s fine, our designer signed off on it

            Wasn’t the space ship in Niven’s Ringworld series both literally indestructible and transparent? There’s no way I’m going back to check because Niven is one of those authors I realized decades after reading him was a dirty old man.
