'The millions of reasons people give for why they won't work' are so important and useful not only for the development but for other possible innovations. They should be welcomed.
And I think there are no causation and correlation between thinking reasons that make it impossible and starting a company.
Geospatial Information Authority of Japan heard public comments and have finally decided NOT to change the symbol for temples. Their official statement is at http://www.gsi.go.jp/common/000138869.pdf. (It's written in Japanese. I couldn't find out English one.)
A government still can get control practically. They cannot stop the service itself but can regulate payments from their citizens to the service. It is like online casino.
Of course, there may be some loopholes for payment and some citizens who access the service as well as online casino.
For me, it always takes some time to see it as face and still hard to understand what emotion this face presents.
