More seriously, I definitely agree that just because Zoom is available, that doesn't make this easy to do. Indeed one might have said the same thing 50 years ago slightly differently, Zoom or no Zoom: "Given the ubiquity of the telephone, he could use it to rapidly get out of the building to the U.S. to test some hypotheses and gather some initial insights." Definitely easier said than done...
