...what exactly were you supposed to say at the end of an email, there?

Most sources say she was 17

Contemporary sources? Nope.

Contemporary sources say she was anywhere from 6 to 10. Revisionist scholars have attempted to claim that she was at least 17.

Agreed. Bottom line: if lab meat cannot replicate the texture and mouth-feel of a nice marbled filet it will not fill or even really compete with actual meat producers in that aspect of production. That's not to say there wouldn't be room for it in replacing live-animal meat in lower-quality-type products, such as the processed meats.

Frankly that's a more realistic goal, anyway.

Depends on what he says, doesn't it?

eg:

"We had to change how we used the weapon after insurgents started hiding behind salt-heavy rock formations. We were told that those can mess up the guidance system and so we only deploy these weapons in other regions. Luckily that fact isn't common knowledge among the enemy, yet, and so it's not a big deal."

Ah, the 'Firstborn'. That's scifi aliens done right: inscrutable, mysterious, incomparably powerful, and sort of a bunch of dicks, in the end...
