Ah.  I'll admit, that particular link was a bit of a flight of fancy.
I'd hoped to note that by noting the other problems that would also
need to be solved, even assuming everything worked perfectly (without
the usual hiccups that plague endeavors like this), and that it was an
"extreme end" of this technology - but even so, perhaps I did not
stress enough how speculative that link was.  (Often when I post
speculation, one of the things I'm looking for is evidence that said
speculation either might be or definitely is wrong.)

It was not meant to represent that I had any great personal knowledge
of the topic.  Rather, it was mostly a "look at this neat thing these
other guys have come up with" post.

I think we've peaceably settled this now.  :)

I hear you.  I had to work on my own diplomacy on this one too.
