I get that it is neat but it's hardly the Hoover dam is it?

No, it's significantly more complex.

May be more complex but it's less audacious.

The water systems for LA and San Francisco are really quite audacious even if they have less technical complexity than floating rail.

I've built ML systems way more complex than any of these but it's still way less ambitious and audacious.

More complex for less benefit is just losing two different ways.

It's not exactly brain surgery, is it?
