I personally would not want to spend 000000000 to get where I want, and I agree those who is making an own goal.
All I said, was that looking at the figures, it is understandable that some people with more money then sense, might be tempted.
Most people I have met recently, believe modular is the way to go, still there will always be the brain dead who thinks Oxford is the best way, and dont mind loosing £70.000 of daddies money. That is just fortunate, because with that kind of own goal, they will not be around in 3 - 5 years, when maybe things starts to move.
