Yes, it’s difficult to know whether it would have an impact in terms of more people becoming involved. Though i don’t think that means it isn’t worthwhile in terms of calibrating value systems within EAA, so we still need to know we are representing different value systems well, even if other people don’t necessarily want to get involved.
