Right.

Also forget the fact that A, there's AI efficiency, B, there's sort of um high value capital being arbitraged into markets that normally wouldn't have them.
Legal's a good example.
Great engineers didn't want to work in legal, now they do because of things like Harvey.
And more healthcare, which again, suddenly you have these great people showing up.
