If they do that, I'll cheerily admit that I was dead wrong about them. In fact, I've already predicted they'll produce nothing better before next June, so if they fill those extra slots some time in January, then my prediction was certainly wrong, almost no matter what the new version of the machine does. No wiggling, I promise! ;-) But if Steorn shows that they can power an Orbo from an Orbo, nobody will notice what I say at that point; they'll be too distracted by what will be a truly reality-inverting event, if Steorn pulls it off.
