To put this straight - I meant that all the efferescing outlines as to BBR were potentially overly hasty, perceive it as a mere utterance. For BBR2.0 I referred to the slide by Geoff listing the cued improvements from 1.0 -> 2.0 - insinuating thereby ruling out thinkable 'vantage aspects' of BBR (excuse my cynicism - early morning ranting!).
