I guess what I mean is that the fact that the volume is so huge, what difference does it make when we can't do a thing about it. If it was the difference between 10 gallons and a million gallons, then I would agree. But we are dealing with 1.5 million or 2 million. Since we can't do a GD thing about it at this point, why are we all so focused on knowing EXACTLY how much? The oil is going to go where it wants to go and do what it wants to do. Again, I was just addressing the fixation on figuring out the value. Personally, it doesn't matter to me if the 20 mile plume contains 5 mil or 7 mil gallons. It is what it is, and we're fucked either way.
