The rote repetition can reveal censorship.

-* How easily the idea can be distorted and connected with negative ideas (ie. falsely claiming opposition to affirmative action is racism)

+Quantification of censorability may facilitate reducing the censorability of a movement or good idea.  Just as exercise improves physical conditioning, there may be techniques for enhancing the resilient attributes of a message. From the above equation, there are two general obvious ways to reduce censorability: reduce '''c''', or increase '''o'''. Specifically, some methods to reduce censorability:
