	Interesting article, except for all the math...
	
	Given his results, I still wonder whether
	it would be even better if the two were
	separated by some grater distance, and housed
	in separate containers.   Putting all one's
	eggs in just one basket, I wonder where there
	is some deleterious interaction between the
	two.
