If they cant make it work, it should die. There is no sense in putting in a
mode that is known to be one that will intefere with other signals. I
really dont think it will come to that. We have too many smart people
working on the problem (or at least I hope they are), and nothing is
impossible as long as it obeys the laws of physics, and even then they seem
to get around them.
