"They can purge the entire crop and hatch a new batch."
that's what I meant by starting from scratch..starting from an egg..not all the back to insertions..
"My opinion is that it wouldn't take "quarters" to fix if it was just a restart."
it wont take quarters to fix..kim stated that the protocols put in place should also assist in improving the product further..in the coming quarters..
"My sceptical side says that this problem was the cause if the issues with the past reelers."
I hope so..all that means is the problem has existed for a long time..thus the fix solves many other issues whose cause was previously unknown..
I'm good with that..
"But this is why I am not sure it's as simple as wandering worms but I am in no way qualified to judge."
well based on what I understood jazz to say in the past, it is highly unlikely that genetic drift would occur as a result of the implementation of the genetic engineering..
as far as I can see that only leaves contamination as a source..and kim has put forth the solution as being the implementation of intensive selective breeding and "has also begun a cross breeding project to reinvigorate its transgenic lines with commercial silk genetics."
it seems to me that if the solution to your problem is better breeding protocols and better testing, then breeding was also likely the problem..the only question that remains is the cause.. sloppy handling was put forth..sounds good to me..i don't really care..if there was contamination and they found the source and have a solution, its all good.
this may delay things a bit..or not..whatever..its not like kblb was moving all that fast anyway..
if there is a slow down, I'm not sure anyone would notice..
