Cecil knows what a difficult path ahead he faces in trying to safely stear STWA forward into a fully functioning technology company with $billions$ in revenues. Notwithstanding our collective desire to see this happen in a big way, the ODDS are stacked against him.
IMO, we can only hope that he'll either be successful against all odds or we'll be acquired by the likes of HAL before the vultures move in to protect their existing investments in ZERO-type alternatives.
