Yeah, our chats with OH have went very much along these lines
One thing to note reg top of the tree is that OH's Great People plans include getting Theatre (Drama) and NE (Literature) in "Kirby" sooner rather than later. Although I think we have anyways a positive problem in the sense that our tech pace will be so fast that we might reach economics before we get a non-GM birthed regardless what we now do..
