Once again, it seems you have not read my message carefully. The image distortion from using a wide-angle or telephoto lens is irrelevant in this situation. I'm using measured diameters from the base of the pile to determine the width of the base of the pile. The linkage is made by using a range of LARGE silkworm cocoons. Because large silkworm cocoons vary somewhat in their diameter, I introduced some uncertainty into my computations. Because the cocoons at the very bottom of the image are not in focus, the camera is being held pretty close to the cocoon pile. The base may be a few inches lower than I calculate and thus the pile may be a few inches wider and the volume a bit more. These differences would amount to a couple of kilos of silkworm cocoons and an even smaller difference in reeled silk.
I don't know if this pile represents all of the silkworms harvested in this phase. It might only represent the cocoons harvested in one room, while other rooms might also have similar piles. What I do know is that this photograph represents an unimpressive quantity of reeled silk. If KBLB wants to convince people they are producing silk at quantities needed for luxury streetwear, this is not a good photograph to present to the world.
The onus is on KBLB to demonstrate to the world that they are able to produce their silks in commercial quantities. Vague statements by management accompanied by unimpressive photograps are not the way to convince anyone.
I thought that KBLB was able to grow piles of silkworms larger than this last year. They talked about producing metric tons, not piles of cocoons that amount to less than 40 kilos of reeled silk. Oh yeah. KBLB never explained to shareholders they were going to miss the mark by a factor of 10 or more.
