Thank you for your cynicism, it's super productive. Let's not discuss or try to improve upon the idea. Let's just tell him why we think he's wrong.

Continuing with OP's thought. Making the legislator who introduces the bill commit the bill would be an awesome piece of information and might make some legislators think twice about what they introduce and how they title it. And all the statistics that could be run on a repo of laws would be a ridiculously useful resource.




Except he's completely right. In this case, improving on the idea is not going to help you actually achieve it.

So make it happen first, then make it work well.

It's not cynicism, its realism which must be reflected in the strategy for change, otherwise failure is inevitable.
