Gee, it sounds so reasonable. I'd think this should work as well as 
anything mere humans presume to attempt, if the reality roughly 
corresponds to the plan. It's frightening how much ground that 
presumption encompasses, but it could happen - really. I predict that it 
hinges on who is responsible for the minute to minute state of the DC. 
If someone is, it may well work, and might even work well. The system is 
terrific. It's the elves that are in question.
