That sounds nice when you say it, but it does not hold true. I think we can all agree that when trying to break the sound barrier it would have been useless to experiment with chicken-cheese interactions because it did not address the underlying problem of maintaining stability at extreme speeds. The problem with fusion today is that more energy is put into making things fuse than can be extracted; I don't see this project addressing that problem.
