I'd still at least throw a comment on it and wait a while before outright
closing it as unsolvable if it looks like there's some potential to it.  We
choose to map the planet not because it is easy, but because it is hard,
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our
energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to
accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
