Eventually, the army cut off funding, because they decided it was impractical.
Skinner showed that it was practical (for bombs, at least, during WWII, I don't know about missiles). It was more like this: if you invest in a new electronic bomb sight, and it doesn't work, it's too bad, you try the next thing; If you invest in Skinner's pigeon idea and it doesn't work you are the laughingstock of the whole country. No one in the Army had the guts to try it.
Nilly landed safely at home.
Thanks for letting us know, Allyson.
I was thinking about her when I got up in the middle of the night. Glad she's home safely. Can't wait to see her on the board again!
Oh, good. Thank you, Allyson.
Thanks for the word, Allyson.
Thanks, Allyson. And thanks again for all your work organizing this.
Sad that the Nilly tour is over, glad to hear she arrived home safely. Looking forward to reading what she says about it all. Thanks to everybody who made it possible, hosts, organizers, guests, and all.
Katerina Bee speaks for me.
(I love the way that sounds, I may need to find other opportunities to say it.)
Thanks to everyone involved. Just hearing about (and seeing pictures of) NillyTour '04 was a wonderful experience. I think I'm gonna have to get me one of those nifty tote bags.
(never mind the editing)
Thanks for the update, Allyson.
