Honestly, as much as I would like to imagine that we are uniquely
brilliant, I would say tons and tons. It's quite a large piece of
software, but it is not rocket science - I'm not aware of anybody who
has given it a real shot and failed.

Anyways, I guess I'm less of a man (or maybe just more honest) than you,
because if I believed my safety was at risk, that would be my concern,
not the fate of this project.
