Manshoon, you know me, you know I'm not challenging you. But I do have a question about that Kaplan quote. He states that large scale commercialization will ultimately be more successful via large liquid vats than through silkworms (paraphrase. I believe I have the jest of it. Anybody, correct me if I'm wrong). The thing about that quote that puts the big question mark above my head is that silk has been mass produced for millinia via the silkworm doing it's thing. Why wouldn't it be an equally effective way to spin spidersilk in commercial quantities also? Why, now that it's spidersilk, is it more effective to produce it in vats? Doesn't make sense to me. Guess I'm questioning Kaplan moreso than you.
Just thinking out loud. Do you still have only one post a day? That's a crime to the board if so.
