They're a software company, they didn't do it just to show off. They
did it to sell software.
That's what I meant. It's still a big lump of cash for a handful of
advertising photos in which you can hardly tell Inconel from gray plastic.
It would make more sense if somebody was planning to fire it and do
heat-flow measurements (ideally ones that would show a real advantage!).
