That's completely impractical for the average, and even above average user.

Just because something can be a solution doesn't mean it should be.

We live in less than an ideal world though, we don't really get to dictate how practical the solutions to our problems are.

It is in a way what makes a problem truly a problem. Otherwise, "problems" would all just be different ways of being ignorant of the better way.
