WM: Nor do I wish to rehash the issue. However, I am saying that the 
work of CVI will require contending with the fact that a huge pool of 
resentment has been raised by the method of obtaining the site and that 
will adversely affect the project's goals.

WM: Actually, I think the model itself has more than a little hope of 
succeeding. However, the resentment already created may skewer the model 
out of shape, so that measuring the results gets more difficult and less 
reliable.
