An experiment is one thing. If that's what they paid for, then Jim was 
probably doing it to finance more serious projects elsewhere. I think 
it's a good concept for covering breaking news. But note, compared to 
the photo editor I was talking about, Jim was directly shooting what he 
saw and thus editing in the field. This editor is thinking of 
photographers as trained monkeys who make no judgment at all.

"There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply 
without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry 
of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a 
tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a mortification against the 
martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape 
the consequences."
