    Note that you here have fully entered straw-man territory, as there wasn't anybody in the thread who ever claimed the percentage reduction in loss equated to a numerically identical percentage increase in range or reduction in pollution. I was addressing only the reduction in power wasted as heat in that component, and that's what I wrote.

    And you know what? You know, if you ever had achieved 99.999995% and then managed to improve that to 99.999996%, you really would have reduced your power going to heat by 20% again, and you really would be able to shrink your (by then quite small) cooling capacity by 20% again, and among the kinds of possible refinements of your machine you might be evaluating at that point, that still would be pretty cool.
