Interesting! Can you point out something specifically that's wrong, and what the evidence to the contrary is? Otherwise it seems like you're being equally condescendingly dismissive (apologies if that was your intention)

Not too much for reprojection. That's a very specialized task that can be optimized for in hardware, without having to support all the typical operations of GPUs. That's not to say it's easy. It requires a large amount of eng

This is very interesting to me, and you sound very familiar with the topic! Is there any particular place I can look into this in greater detail? I've often considered investing in real estate, but never considered using leverage.
