As for reference value - a completely subjective criterium that is not backed up by facts (ie those long paragraphs that are so tedious to read) should never be used as a basis for anything, not a homage, not a discussion and unless you want to fail from the start, certainly not a thesis. There is no value to the idea of original/former alignment, sorry.

As for the badges - I guess we're just going to have to think up something new then, won't we? The vast majority are unable to afford food let alone buy online luxuries like comics, And there is a sizable portion of those with internet access that do not wish to buy goods of any sort online, as there are plenty of thieving hackers & malicious crackers, running around the internet to have their way with other people's credit information. Any human-made system to counter these malefactors can be bypassed or overcame by other humans with sufficient skill & motivation

As a reference it has great value, the alignments are backed up by the body of the entry. Besides you clearly did not read what I wrote earlier properly. I offered suggestions for additional alignments other than the default three. I also said for a rough draft for a thesis/homage, which is the merely the 1st step, when an individual wishes to do any sort of writing endeavour.
