In theory it would work. In practice, it would require the blending of two philosophically opposed frames of mind. Based upon the realities of human nature, I don't think that's very likely to happen. It's like telling the Democrats that the best way to fix their parties problems it to start acting like Republicans. I do appreciate that you did not just write a list of complaints, like many bloggers, and that you offered suggestions on how to address the problems.
