And it's like, wow, the past 30 or 40 years of CODATA doing that on a continuous basis giving out that there are running constants has really found a new niche, this new laser-and-thorium setup is a really great piece of old-wrapped-as-new, or even maybe better, a chance to unveil collective ignorance. Well, maybe that's not better, no-one likes to think they were fooled.
