I agree & accept this. My post comes from earlier conversations with a physicist & geologist, who were sceptical of the technology's claims of 'success just around the corner'. I don't know if they were right, or perhaps motivated by funding jealousy - or just plain cynicism. Hence my request for feedback from the Zone.

Btw this is a great paper on next-generation LIGO:
