Yes, it's obviously an open question, and a subjective one at that. I guess my feeling is that it would be good to give more potential books a chance, if a system could be devised to allow it. And as it has been pointed out that current publishers are barely able to sort through the slushpiles to find those gems, it follows that any system that can sort through the piles more thoroughly, and help to better some of the works pulled from the slushpiles, will be able to produce more of those gems.
Or, at least, pretty colored glass... there is room in this world for costume jewelry, too.
