How do you judge the evidence without understanding it?
(E,g,. I wouldn't want an AD taking in lab/simulation/interop input as "factual evidence"...
I also wouldn't want an AD to wait for "proof" of anything in this space.)

PS.: I just spent a day at CeBIT.  One guy there reported to that he has seen 35000 active devices on his WiFi snooper.
I'm not quite sure what that means, but he seemed to be implying "at a specific point in time".
Go congestion control that.  And then "prove" that your solution works.
Somehow, we still seem to be deploying WiFi, nonetheless, and some even consider WiFi a success.
Would your hypothetical AD waiting for "sufficient work was done" have approved WiFi?  In 1998?
