>so I will ask my question again: does adding "behavioral assessment" mean that blocks may be lengthened, shortened or both?
I took it that Bob had implied that 'behavioural assessment' (first time I've seen that phrase) was something that was already happening.
The issue was whether it would be included explicitly in the wording of the formula.
The thing is, if you are going to do behavioral assessment, you have already abandoned the apparent pretense to science and objectivity.
The main characteristic of the formula is that it ratchets up the penalties and gets rid of perceived trouble makers for decent periods.
Why not just leave behind that bogusness and have a maximum block of one month? Or you could have 2 kinds of blocks....a 2 week one and a month long one.
