The one thing some people who say the Voyager Record did not do or say enough do not seem to get is that the Voyager Interstellar Record Team had only a matter of months between the time NASA gave its okay for the record and when it had to be attached to the probes before launch. Plus they were working with a medium that had a rather limited data storage capacity.
