Excuse me, but you seem to be having a problem with quantifiers.  I
said that *most* CCCI applications did not user supercomputers because
of high MTBF requirements.   I never said *all*.  This is, of course,
incidental to the point on which we have agreed:  The presences of the
occasional CCCI supercomputer does not argue for not buying
supercomputers for research.
