Uh huh. You set up a system as complicated as an investment bank, pay 
for it, let me use it as a psi system, and come back in 40 years.

Besides, that's not what I said; I'm talking about results one might 
expect from a theorized understanding of what still is currently 
visible but tricky to pin down for a reliable application. Is anyone 
using neutrinos at the moment to make money (aside from throwing away 
antineutrinos from reactors)?
