We'll just have to see, then.
I've been reading David Lundstrom's book _A_Few_Good_Men_From_Univac_,
and his "Laws of Technology Transfer" seem terribly appropriate.
According to Lundstrom, opportunities for misunderstandings, failure
to communicate, and general bad attitude are directly proportional to
the physical distance of the transfer. "If [a product is transferred]
across the sea, only the most exquisitely detailed and painstaking
planning can avert utter disaster!" Hmmmm.
