Yeah?

These guys really have no clue about the wide variety of defects that kill die at the fab. There idea sounds great from the aspect of a science fiction novel, but in reality it wont work. There are TOO many different mechansims that can't be corrected by this technique, in fact it will probably cause more problems..
