So it's a play on words: Manifest Density vs. Manifest Destiny.
Yes.
The policy of manifest destiny is a form of pure arrogance: This is the
way it will happen and everyone will either like it or get steamrolled
by the inevitable.
...Much like Microsoft "encouraging" apps to use manifest files.
And I agree, the Microsoft policy implemented by this API *is* dense.
The denser an object is, the less affected it is by incoming matter.
Density is a function of arrogance, so when reason speaks to arrogance,
little happens.
