章節 6300: A Little Abuse of Power

The big debate on kinship networks was how accessible they should become.

Proponents clearly wanted to use them as Ves intended, which was to connect as many people to them as possible.

Networks were only as strong and valuable as the amount of people they could affect. If only a fraction of an eligible population connected to a kinship network, then that would severely discount their usefulness in so many ways!

"It does not make any sense to impose quotas on kinship networks. If they only encompass one out of ten or one out of a hundred people, then that will create a division within populations that will only grow worse over time. Many of the reasons for using them, such as engendering greater trust and monitoring for treachery, will become invalid as those with ill intentions can avoid kinship networks entirely."
