=v= Sure, perfection is impossible, by definition. Not siting
these things in a bird migration route seems like a better
approach than a design that doesn't kill "as many birds" (still
a vague, unspecified quantity).

=v= I missed this letter, which is too bad, since it sounds like
it actually discusses quantities. Unfortunately, it's utterly
meaningless to compare plentiful, undendangered yardbirds
smacking into windows with threatened and endangered migratory
birds running into windmills.
