yes!

Ozymandias:
Oh, yeah. ALso of note: this was written by people at Sandia National Labs.

These people are supposed to be the best and brightest government researchers. People who have extreme clearance to ultimate experimental military technology.

Maybe they know something we don't.

Jimor:
Ahhh, I knew I had heard about this before. In the list of participants (pg 36) is Greg Benford, who's listed under his academic credential as a physicist, but is better known as a science fiction author. He wrote an article about his participation for Analog Science Fiction a few years ago.

I think they all got caught up in writing (bad) science fiction on the govt's dime. If I have time, it might be interesting to see which parts Benford worked on, his stuff is usually quite good.
