Are you not capable of evaluating an idea until it's been translated into wonkese?
No, The devil is always in the details. I expect to see some details of how a proposal must be implemented for me to evaluate viability of a course of action.
Without the implementing details necessary to understanding the potential impact on the nation of an enactment, there can be no meaningful discussion regarding any particular system. Without the necessary detail all taht exists is good sounding jargon and sound bytes to lead folks into disaster. Any proposition can be made to sound good with no attention to necessary detail.
Example, look how long it took me to demonstrate the inherent incapacity of a tariff only system sustain a decent budget, to your satisfaction. Trying to discuss broad concepts without the details implementing them leads to overlooking the essentials and making invalid conclusions on too few facts.
