If you keep someone visually disoriented, they can't keep track of their facts and lies and the paths between them.

Ever try to think of details while viewing a fast moving screen in front of you or when on a moving ride at the county fair. It is very difficult.

Hence, I would provide a visually disorienting "questioning center".

If you funded the invention of a new crop version and wanted to recoup your hundreds of millions of development costs, you would not want the court to eliminate patent rights for 2nd generation crops.

If on the other hand, you are a farmer, and nearly all beans in your area are patented and then you buying commodity beans from a "feed and seed" place & it means you get mostly patented beans and you plant them, you would not expect to pay a royalty on a "commodity" that you didn't want or order.

This is a tough one. I see the issues on one side and the other.

I find it very unusual that the college's article did not mention anything about the traditional engineering measurements on such systems.

It is always energy in versus energy out and the % efficiency and then the energy cost of recycling the zinc.

This leads me to be very speculative.

Power is the finest token of affection.
