Hello James,
I've already read the document, also I have given thougt to the things that you mentioned. Since my title is not yet decided I still have a little time to modify what my thesis is going to be about, my supervisor gave me similar feedback. So maybe I'll look at the protocol and how systems can be constructed to achieve c.i.a, and hopefully the world will be able to benefit just a little more from it.

Cheers
