I've also been in situations with psycho women...like the one that ruined my rep for 7-8 years and got my arm broken. I'm also able to see those are extreme cases and can more readily see signs to steer clear now. And don't want to run the risk of giving yet another avenue of escape before this thing actually works for the majority. Make it actually work, THEN dial it back. Seems obvious.
I agree with Nox on this. Same issue and talking points again...bit of a shame as that just shows the program hasn't gone further in actual results since...maybe the next one will though. We'll see.
If the anti sniper is being warped it's still is the result of other factors that warp it.It's better to deal with the warping factors rather than removing the safeties built into the program.
Considering the amount of damage that can be cause by STD,false allegations or crazy women it's not worth pulling out all the safeties to get more sex.As The technology will improve it will deal with more resistance and fears.In that case it's better from that reason to keep the anti sniper,to see how and why it's being warped.
I believe there are numerous safeties already included in the script even absent the AS. They are plentiful enough that, IIRC, it turned out that these can be used as a way of weaseling out of executing the reality bending in the program by a fearful subC.
Though perhaps instead of an AS as it was (which would "anti-snipe" based on certain criteria), perhaps something which would turn off the sniper altogether for people who meet certain criteria (then again, this may already be taken care of by the other safeties in place).
I'm still of the opinion that it's not quite exactly necessary, though. I guess it'd be fine one way or another, and am trusting Shannon to make the right call regarding this issue himself.
