          Sorry, sorry! That was a slip of the tounge (or finger). I
          meant, of course, the $1000000 alternative, the "modest"
          alternative.
          
          BTW. I think that Hal Finney is basically right that it is
          the invocation of infinities that lies behind the paradoxes
          in the shooting room.
