Since the sieving is done in a distributed manner with manpower
proportional to the manpower producing the crap, even mostly linear
sieving will achieve letting the crap fall through.

There is little to understand, like there is little to understand about
why it hurts if you break your arm.  The important thing is that it

substance of your response seems a bit far-stretched.
