Hym "And what happens when people inevitably start to 'fudge the numbers', Jordan? Because you know they will. If the test you conveniently CAN'T TAKE BECAUSE YOU WILL CHEAT can be cheated, people WILL cheat. I'm like the worlds leading expert on your work. I could probably choose my own results if I wanted. What happens when the distributors of the test start taking bribes? What happens when the people who support you end up not being as conscientious as they thought? You know people are going to look the other way. And, on a long enough timeline, you know the test will be co-opted by the distributors. Who will inevitably be the government. Noisy dissident? 'Failed' the test. Now go where the people who fail the test go. And who takes the test? Well, if they aren't socialized by the age of 4 then the-children-you-pretend-to-care-so-much-about's fate is basically set in stone so I guess we just give the test to kindergarteners."

Hym "So we throw out the presumption of innocence and bring forth the 'Psycho-Pass'-esque dystopia. THAT'S LITERALLY THE PLOT OF THE SHOW 'PSYCHO-PASS'! And like 'Psycho-Pass' you will inevitably get a person who tests clean but still does the things you're afraid of and what recourse will we have? Won't matter. You'll be too dead to care by then. It will fail in implementation just like the Lysenkoism of the past. Because that's exactly what it is."
