Maybe we can have a phone call if you’d like to discuss further.
I doubt it’s worth it—I’m not a major funder in this space and don’t expect to become one in the near future, and my impression is that there is no imminent danger of you shutting down research that looks promising to me and unpromising to you. As such, I think the discussion ended up getting into the weeds in a way that probably wasn’t a great use of either of our time, and I doubt spending more time on it would change that.
That said, I appreciated your clarity of thought, and in particular your restatement of how the conversation looked to you. I will probably be stealing that technique.
