Gill concluded that the principle of checks and balances is a good one that must be preserved , and that if this amendment passes , it will be much harder to change it than it would be if the amendment were defeated now , and preferred wording sought later .

It seems as if this tool just came out and has n't yet been successfully used in * forward * prediction .
