For practical purposes its not in the interest of justice to punish people before we have found them guilty as a matter of law and justice. If it really requires 8 years of work to prove whether the tools they are using work or not then they haven't independently validated their work in the first place ergo we have no reason to suppose it works.

We should either pay for multiple people to work on it so we can have the answer in less than 8 years or we shouldn't use it at all.
