If we stopped short of trying something new, nothing would evolve. Your data seems to support your argument that this is not worth trying. However, as long as non of us are encouraging anything dangerous or otherwise destructive, there is no reason not to fiddle and have fun. The way I see it, that is what this community is about. Sometimes the experts can dispel suggestions off the bat, sometimes not. And sometimes they are even proved wrong.
Worst case, during this discussion, though it in itself does not lead anywhere, it educates the partakers.
