No, that's not what I'm advocating, and honestly, the way you're
approaching this now, I really have to be wondering if you're being
deliberately obtuse.  Because if that's actually where you're coming from,
you're essentially saying that the USBR system is a pipe dream.  I'm not
ready to buy that argument because the premise is fundamentally flawed on a
level amounting to argumentum ad absurdum.
