Actually I'm not sure that you can *both* be wrong on the
simple matter of whether molecular manufacturing assembler
will exist by 2020 when one is saying no and the other yes ;).

Let's not see things as *tougher* than they are :-).

BTW: I Share your enthusiasm, Mez for seeing reasoning put
down to back conclusions rather than just swapping numbers.
I allows us to move from the whimsical to the practical and
bring more resources to bear on the real problems. Thereby
hopefully cutting down delivery times on desirable technologies.
