I'm thinking this is probably an error in the Neurotech report:

I know Dean's team is talented, but this kind of result for eighteen dollars and ten cents would be truly miraculous. Hopefully Dean actually got paid a little more than that.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
