Are you suggesting that in the thousands of years the MG system has existed, since the time man has evolved out of his original cave dwelling ways, there hasn't been a single young girl who was as much of a carefully-thinking, self-sacrificing idealist as Madoka? After ages and ages of MG wishes being plagued by monumental injustice, it took a random Japanese schoolgirl somewhere around the span of three weeks to figure out how to revise the system?
Because, if you are, how can you
not see how many things are wrong about that conclusion?
And it's not just that. Once again, Madoka is not just a really, really, really careful thinker. By the story's own admission, her wish was only feasible because a bullshit rule change came out of nowhere at the last second and was required to work in tandem with the fact that she's a really, really, really careful thinker.
