The use of resources must not be intensified but could definitely be optimized.
Acknowledgements This is the preliminary result of a long-lasting discussion with many colleagues. We want to thank Monika Janišová, Alessandro Chiarucci, Marinus Werger, Victor
Westhoff ({) and Martin Zobel for criticism, fruitful discussion, remarks on a former version of
the manuscript, for recommendations and additional information and ideas.
