Many eyes

Hi Bluestar51,

Slightly off the current topic, is it possible that they have found some of the wreckage with their current search, but because of logistical restraints they are unable to explore those sights?
Quite on topic!
They might have found something without actually knowing it (further data analysis may later reveal some possible traces of wreckage) but I don't think that logistical restraints would have been an issue. Those vessels were fully equiped for recovering any wreckage, or simply to verify any doubtfull spot at will.
This brings to mind the many eyes approach several groups are using to find interesting bits in huge volumes of data. If the bottom profiles were released to the public for processing and scrutiny both the state of the art and the chance of discovery of "bits" in large amounts of data improve.

If a prize is offered for finding parts of the plane it might result in cheaper and faster results.
