Their extreme sensitivity to a multiple of factors speaks volumes
How many factors? I don't think you could know. If you consider that they already have proven the tech via pilot... how many factors/changes in conditions could there be? It ain't as bad as you are painting it. When they did the pilot, those pilot numbers were beaten by the batch numbers in October.
You are also making a claim to our silkworms having extreme sensitivity. You do this without being able to give any numbers. None of us can. And again, the pilot worked. So your statement denies the fact of that success, and that makes your statement extreme, beyond our ignorance of the numbers.
