Kipk - DM covered your point, sort of in his presentation. He said something to the effect of; We are a small company with limited resources. When BP's do PIII's there are often 3 or 4 trials going on and then they have ALL of the bases covered. Although it wasn't stated specifically it was intimated that had we had those resources we would not be in the position we are in today. Both you and Bear have valid positions for your lines of thinking.
