That was what I said when I asked if Ed had done some research about that. Apparently he did not. But to insinuate that the 'change' should speak or should be correlative with 'strength', that is not substantiated at all. But I insist that Ed had a fine idea to do some research at all! It's a good beginning. It's years ago that I read something about another little experiment. The reason for the general situation is the understandable security thinking of the different teams.
