Sorry to disagree again but if you aren't making progress you end up
eating dust. We just have to learn to do research and be practical
at the same time.  There is just too much to do to just apply what we
already know.  Industry paleontologists see the greatest volume of
material in the most expanded sections.  We are in a position to really
do something. We just have to figgure out how to be less greedy with
what we find out.
