    Oh great, another “breakthrough” that will sit in a journal until the next grant cycle.

    Great, another model to tell me where my table came from. Did it trace the lumber’s paperwork too, or just the logging crew’s excuses?

    Another “breakthrough” in timber tracing, and I’m supposed to remember a similar one that went nowhere? Fine, but this one at least promises a fix for the part everyone keeps skipping: the reference samples. Still waiting on the rest.
