Looking in the wrong place. have you lost all confidence on the data that the search area is based on, the satellite data and ping data? >> i never had a great deal of confidence in anything when i can't get concrete information that i can go to the bank on. all the things i've heard so far have been based upon assumptions. and those were fine. we're talking about very brilliant, very experienced experts when we talk about that. except it's still an assumption. i'm hoping that we will go from assumption to reality. this is it, jim. this is what it looks like. this is what it tastes like. let's...
