      Ultimately, yeah. Rush's goal was to make money by taking paying customers on undersea tours. Calling the Titan a "research vessel" was a farce; what little research it performed, like sampling ocean salinity at different depths, was a fig-leaf at best, not the purpose of its activities. (And, per the report, even that was neglected on some of the vessel's later dives.)
