Exactly that's where it should be doubled down... if their own estimates are correct... it's only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn't throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.

Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever... but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.
