Re: This is mostly pointless

It's searching under lampposts. There are only some things we can look for: if we don't look at all we have a chance of zero of finding something, if we look where we can look we have a chance which is not less than zero and may be greater. And by looking we get to to technology development on the machines we use for looking so related machines can look for other things, like vegetation with more sensitivity.
