Re: Quibbles
ND: Exactly, though I'd be satisifed if the cultures gave, at best, a +0 net racial point bonus equivalent. So, for example, Artisans could keep their +10% happiness but would also suffer -5% production and research together, or just -5% aggressiveness. (Wait, that wouldn't work for aggressiveness, since it and defensiveness are combined into Space Combat for cultures.)
SJ: Interesting tactic. And now I see the point of your original 'happiness isn't important' comment.
(Omigod! With that tactic, you could have ships with allegiance subverters and religious talismans! That is diabolical....)

Ponder this: Scientists already knew that matter is 98% empty space. After they figured out the structure of protons, they determined the remaining 2% is mostly made up of... well, nothing. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
