Exactly the point: The current business model results in 1-10,000 books to see the light of day. A new model, taking the risk out of the publisher's equation, might allow 1-500, or even 1-50, to see the light of day.

Maybe I should ask: Is there some part of "impartial third-party post-filtering, instead of publisher pre-filtering" that does not make sense?
