Okay, you proposed I go. I told you I know nothing about this. Why are you repeating this? You have "explicitly proposed" that the wrong person be sent to do something he does not have slightest idea how to do, in a type of experiment he has never seen. So, your proposal tells us you have no clue. > I think it'll take $5k to train me. Applying Allan's incorrection > coefficient, it would make the training $50k. If you need any training, you are the wrong person. We need to send someone who has spent years measuring gamma rays. Someone in the UK who has all of the equipment in a lab at his fingertips. > I think it would be > several thousand in expenses, most of us don't even think it would be > that much so there's no need to apply Allan's incorrection > coefficient.

If you thought I was serious you lack a sense of humor. The word "cool" might have tipped you off that I wasn't serious. The fact that the sum is outrageous should have tipped you off. And my follow up comments would seem facetious to most people: Me: I am *starting the negotiation* at $1 million. Say yes today, without delay, or it goes to $2 million. Alan: I propose $1M plus a basket full of white kittens, and a barrel of blue M&M's Me: Driving a hard bargain, are we? Well, two can play that game! I raise you. I will do it for *$3 million*. That's my final offer, unless you want to pay more. Does that sound serious to you? Really?!?
