Dave your comment brings up an interesting new question: why is quick results one of the worlds?  We understand why we need verifiable, trustworthy results, but it isn’t clear to me why we introduced the competing need for speed.  

 

Our system was set up in the days when people traveled aboard a beast, or in a conveyance pulled by them, which isn’t fast, so we allowed two and a half months to get to the site.  So what’s the big hurry?
