Of course I agree it doesn’t indicate success, I assume you understand I was only making the weaker claim, that lack of success at 10 years doesn’t set any ceiling on ultimate success. Just saying it’s not unprecedented as other concepts have, however unlikely, eventually found success, and there are maybe a few parallels with basic research. Some computer science has come out of all of this already, some of which might be pieces to a puzzle we can’t entirely see yet.
