And that is supposed to mean what, Gryphon Hunter?
It means I think we have most of the general concepts nailed down (I don't need to read another article that says ducks fly south or coastal wetlands provide storm protection). It's time to step out of the marsh/lab/books and talk to actual people about what's happenning and where it's actually important to focus research. You might have passed your best before date and care less, but do you think people will keep investing in the research if all you can tell them is that they'll never be able to understand?
LMAO! Give a kid a shiny, new Master's degree and he's now an expert on waterfowl and wetland research. As for talking to "actual people" ( as opposed to virtual ones? ), that's a great idea:

You may "think" that waterfowl / wetland research is at a dead-end, but that's just your lack of knowledge /
understanding showing. So, to help you understand, have a look at this:

Look at you being all contrary to your legacy quote and imagining that somone has the capacity to understand, good for you! LOL
And I don't really have a preference between actual or virtual people, if what we're doing here is being virtual people...
And I never would have said "dead end"... but the really interesting stuff to the common person is done; go out and tell common people with money - not other scientists or interested hunters - why they should care and contribute and what's most important now - then, if you have time, go back and tell other scientists, hunters, and hopefully some new interested people why everyone else won't have the capacity to understand.
