I suppose my subtle sarcasm is easily lost, but I still think that for all the time and energy put into finding one of these creatures alive, we still managed to rip off an appendage that will not grow back. Kind of like "Hey you! Giant squid! Over here! Oops! Sorry about your arm dude!"
And I agree a squid can lose an arm on any day of the week, but it lost it on something that was man made, so that means that in the normal course of its life, if it never encountered anything man made, (highly unlikely, but possible) then it might just still have all of its tentacles.
I know I am making a big deal out of nothing, but as humans, it is like we feel the need to get into EVERYTHING, no matter the cost. IMO.
