> Indeed. Why fly, when one can instantly Halo?

Do you always take a vendor's claims as gospel?

Me - I have a strong bias toward whatever decision is made by someone who has significant skin in the game. Sure, they make mistakes, but they've got far more relevant experence and incentive to get it right than someone in the cheap seats.

If you think that Halo is usefully better, use it and drive the fossils who go face to face out of biz.

The people with skin in the game are using telepresence, instead of flying.
