历史告诉我们，当殖民是自愿的时，人们的自我选择会比任何测试系统更好。这就像那些根据被认为理想的特征来控制移民到美国的愚蠢尝试，而事实上，历史上定义美国人的唯一特征是“来自愿意放弃一切生活在那里的人的后裔”。意愿是最重要的测试。
(As history shows us, when colonization is voluntary, people will self-select better than any testing system. It's like those foolish attempts to control immigration to American based on the traits that were deemed desirable, when in fact the only trait that defines Americans historically is "descended from somebody willing to give up everything to live there." Willingness is the single most important test.)
