Non sequitur. And in any case, I do not assume a FOOM scenario;
indeed, I have a history of arguing quite the opposite. It does not
invalidate my original point, which was that nobody will be paying
attention until such a time that tripping over it is unavoidable
unless you put a lot of effort toward attracting attention. This
argument is not dependent on the speed of the scenario, though outcome
distributions do vary a bit with scenario speed.
