Just to reiterate from above: I continue to be grateful for your participation in this discussion and I'm sorry I'm coming across more sharply than I intend. I think we're making progress and I hope I can blunt the sharpness of my tone enough for us to continue without blunting the sharpness of my argument :-)
I think there's a good chance that those frozen in 1982 are information-theoretically dead or otherwise beyond the reach of any plausible future technology, but "infinitesimally small" expresses absolutely *tremendous* confidence, and that seems unwarranted to me.
