Theoretically, huh. Until they are [solved with/by D] though, there really
is not product there, huh. And I hear this a book trying to capitalize on
this "personal D R&D" thing. Have they considered LSD and offering Koolaid

That was certainly a statement of wishful thinking, I suggest though, it was
a statement of unknowing. "D" doesn't know what the problem is.
