I just had a sudden vision of Alex Abel talking to a bunch of lawyers, 
reading through a huge stack of patent applications.


"I'm sorry, but my client's patent 2198765 'Any system where the
inherent randomness of a subsection of the the universe is used, either
directly or indirectly, to reduce randomness in a secondary universal
subsystem (including but not limited to taking un-nessesscary risks for
the purpose of voiding later risks) including all applications of above
system to instances of reality both subjective and objective' means that
you will have to discontinue employing entropomancers unless you pay a
licensing fee. You are also ordered to change your business name, as my
other client feels it is too close to the name of their business, 'The
Spanish Inquisition' trading under the name 'The Inquisition' and that
you may be mis-leading consumers. "
