Should UKQnA.com be re named Fermi questions?

(Enrico Fermi, scientist,1901-1954)
"a fermi question is answered by making reasonable assumptions, not necessarily relying upon definate knowledge for an exact answer".
"questions that can be answered quantitively by rough approximations, inspired guesses and statistical estimates from very little data".
"Fermi revelled in posing unexpected questions (as a scientist) on aspects of the natural world, and then figuring out thier answers. Some classic Fermi questions .(particularly relevant to Yhoo?) ..How many atoms could be reasonably claimed to belong to the jurisdiction of the USA".
"You can find many Fermi-type questions on the internet".

Sure. Why not?

Maybe, instead of points, they could give us fermions ☺

Maybe they could re-name it "Yahoo In*FERMI*ation"?
