True, but there's also a point where you have to realize that what you are trying to do is not far enough within the realm of possibility yet to pursue it. The timeline jumping sets us back a lot, and since I actually can't do my own research anymore, you would have to extend your research further than both of us ever had before, probably in less time too. My research could be done at a leisurely pace, and to a degree so could yours, but this is a race against the clock and neither of us is prepared for that.
