Steve, Well, yes, except maybe for the curious skeptics inquiring into the "stock analysis" that goes unquestioned, that "what the country needs" is endlessly multiplying stock...
That so many of nature's important developmental choices seem concentrated on that switch point, where that "stock analysis" of pumping things up meets diminishing returns or complications of some sort, and needs to be remade into something else, seems worth looking into. Wouldn't you agree?
