Just a note to say I’m not worried at all about harmful overlap between the projects.
We don’t have capacity to do this kind of research in the near future, so the extra research done by Richard and Michael is almost all additive i.e. significantly more total research gets done.
It’s easy for us to coordinate with them—we can just link people interested in technology to their resources. There’s little potential for confusion.
I know Richard well and we can just talk periodically to stay in sync.
I also agree with all of the benefits of separation Richard lists below.
