On Wed, 25 May 2005 23:41:19 -0400, in a place far, far away, "Scott
Hedrick" made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

It worked
for Lindbergh and McCready, to name just two who raised the money to
accomplish tasks that carried prizes for the first to do them.

That means that it *could work* to improve EVA capability, but that isn't my
question. Rand insists that the existence of a prize itself means that money
*is* being spent, but admits he doesn't care enough to find out who. That
means that he *cannot* provide any supporting evidence for his claims, but
he's not man enough to admit it or to even admit the possibility of error.
He fails to understand his assumptions, no matter how logical they may
sound, are not *facts* without supporting evidence.
