Sure I would, I just wouldn't feel the need to tell them they are dumber than a fourth grader for considering it.

Like I said, good information otherwise, the six stroke engine is particularly interesting, I only just recently learned of this concept. And I read an article about BMW experimenting with steam hybrids. It seems like an obvious thing to do. 75% of the energy created by burning gasoline in an ICE is converted into waste heat, that seems like it really should be the first place to look when it comes to improving an ICE's efficiency.
