I'm really glad you pointed out that SI's strategy is not predicated on hard take-off. I don't recall if this has been discussed elsewhere, but that's something that always bothered me since I think hard take-off is relatively unlikely. (Admittedly, soft take-off still considerably diminishes my expected impact for SI and donating to it.)

For some time I think EY support hard takeoff -- the bunch of guys in the garage argument --, but if luke say now it's not so, then ok.
