<Snipped quote by Memory>

Sure, in a vacuum, they are perfect unknowns. But to retort to both of those assertions, I will say that I have no say in whatever and however many resources you want to spend of your own into something like this. But, as grand as the resources at your disposal are, I believe you’re talking to the leading expert in[i] all[/i] things related to this region of the Outside. I swear to you, my analysis, and my efforts, would be wasted if they were ignored and excluded.

A leading expert who began his appeal with the emotional impact of the project in his life. That's far from the utilitarian appeal you're making now. Why the sudden shift?
