I think from a curatorial point of view aiming to produce "acceptable" results is questionable. Acceptable in that sense could be taken to mean the minimum required has been achieved.I hope we aim higher. Or perhaps 90% of projects have acceptable health and safety? I dont know which 10 per cent of the sites/diggers we dont mind losing. I would say the conditions that diggers work under can only be classed as unacceptable in 90% of cases.I dont think a licence system should be thought of as a stick, surely those who meet industry standards already, would wish to protect themselves from those who undercut them unfairly and generally lower industries perception of us?
