Are you volunteering to babysit the thing? A thought experiment is
rather pointless even as theories are pointless until they become proven
laws. I personally feel, having had tried this sort of thing against 419
scams, that this will not help as there is not set pattern to filter and
bayesian approaches to killing 419 scams, which more or less have a set
pattern or set patterns, will always need constant eye balling.
