that makes sense
Thanks Ian W. I get it now.
Like most everyone here I am semi-obsessed with this puzzle.
But surely there's an upper limit on costs.
We aren't close yet but I think it is clear that this could get really expensive.
There's not much economy of scale in a detailed search.
Some billions but not 100s of billions?
If we have to wait 5 years for an answer, doesn't the value decline?
It is a big ocean. I hope they find it early in the search.
