If it works, it's not a bad deal. The synch detector is really nice,
in being _very_ unobtrusive for weak signals and strong. Sony has
retrogressed badly on synch detection.

A good deal is where both sides come out better off,
and it's only possible because people customarily disagree about
value.

That's why you want economic activity, in fact; every voluntary
trade makes both sides better off, so the more of them the higher
the standard of living.

Taxing trades heavily enough stops economic activity, because
you can't find disagreement on value large enough to cover the tax,
and the standard of living falls.

Anyway all you have to look at is whether both sides are happy with it.
