The Portal has a compartment in which some of the inhabitants are as mad as a box of frogs. (Am I allowed to say that? Probably not. So I apologise to all frogs). So compartmentalising CAN be done. Does the rest of the Portal gain academic respect and attention as a result? I'd hazard a guess yes.
It's all academic though as it just isn't going to happen here.
Good.
