I'm all for innovation, but one of the things I'm curious about is WHO gets to do the field test? When I was in the Army, if you really wanted to test a new piece of equipment, you gave it to a buck private. You didn't tell him to read the instructions because the real test came when he didn't do it as envisioned by some pencil-chewing geek in a lab. I don't know if that was done with this particular technology.
