Yes, and the Wired graphic was particularly misleading in that it showed, as I recall, multiple dollar amounts accumulating on per-session treadmill displays. On the other hand, it is possible to imagine lifestyles enhanced by various 10W

Indeed, AFAIK part of the progress, even while their are no discoveries being made, is in having a better-calibrated detector. In part, better statistics yield better calibration.
