BS: Related to that, how would you see the role of the Internet, in terms of because I noticed you use that a lot.

HF: Absolutely. yeah. It's it's a fantastic resource but you do have to be very careful. Um - it's an interesting place to look for information. It's a good starting point. You know, you know you can look for stuff on the Internet and say "this is my rough thing" you know, so that you can get a general feel for it. You can also quickly see discrepancies. So you can quickly look and say "oh this person says this thing this person says the other I need to know the difference." So you can go and ask somebody who you trust and say "why is there this difference here?" And they might be able to say "Oh that's - scientists don't know. It's just - it's a current disagreement" or "That's just rubbish" and they can, you know so. I - yeah, use the Internet. It's a starting point. I wouldn't see it's a be-all and end-all.
