Isn't the confidence implied in the vote? i.e. isn't "Strongly disagree" really just a vote for "disagree" with great confidence?

If it increases the attack surface at all, it makes it easier. Being that this site facilitates monetary transactions, I would hope they would be trying to limit their attack surface in any way possible.

I think the real point here is that there are more secure solutions. Saying that it's not all that less secure isn't a great argument.

I've only seen percentages, not figures. I'm not sure you can even say that these searches are being issued by people who turned out to vote.

You list hyperdimensional hashing as one of the early methods that you tried without success. While only good for point-to-point distance comparison in its simplest application, it seems that geohashes meet the scalar/vector problem that you describe. Do you have any experience with geohashes, and if so, what's your opinion of them?

Yeah, I'm sure farming feels like a part-time job.
