Maybe you'd feel better if you didn't put so many words in my mouth.

THE GREATNESS OF THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION will, I suspect, survive
just fine with a telescope that size which gets built later, or
smaller but in space.

As I said, nobody pounded all the other telescopes to dust and flayed
the scientists alive. If you are going to go hyperbolic, so will I.

But that hyperbolic path means I'm leaving you in possession of the field.

Be well.
