To be fair to NP, he didn't set expectations. I take full responsibility for expecting more from the m2m update and from the s/c update. His excitement may have influenced how high I set my expectations, but that is investing.
But I agree, we should acquiesce to BP's flirtations (presumably there are) with regards to CV19. It will bring money in for the original work, raise SP and save peoples' lives from CV19 sooner.
