over many, many, many, many months, getting to a groupthink decision at the end, yeah, is always net worse than making a quick decision, seeing the impact of it, learning from it, and then maybe changing course, maybe changing tact completely.

Short of debt, it would be about $4 billion. With debt, it'd be about $5 billion. Who runs the fundraise process? It's changed over the years. So in the early days, and this is because our investor profile has changed over the years too, and surely you have... the notes of who's led each round and who's participated in each round.

In the early days, it was exclusively Trey who would run our fundraising processes, and he would put Palmer or me or Brian or some of our key engineers in front of investors at the right time to get to whatever questions they had or whatever their concerns were.

I mean, I think there are certainly individual R&D efforts. I don't think I would say, oh, we could have done this on half as much money. No, not at all. I mean, if anything, I think we should raise more and go faster.
