IF you succeed (and I hope you will).. just think how AWESOME would it be that the authors of one of the most significant achievements of the 21st century boicoted those greedy journals.

You'll probably win a Nobel prize if you succeed, why care about a journal publication?!

Presumably because getting published opens up large number of potential funding sources that would otherwise ignore them.
