Is that so terrible?
Well no it's not terrible at all, it's just good business sense. I apologise if my informal language gave the wrong impression. I wasn't making a value judgement, simply observing that there were marketing advantages to be gained from exploiting the 'AR connected' boats and that the WSM had no hang ups about doing so. You had stated in an earlier posting:
John is wrong about the Museum welcoming the NS as a 'cash cow' - they would probably expect fees to be paid for storing and displaying her
All I wanted to do was to demonstrate that as far as Cochy and Mavis were concerned the WSM were already receiving a handsome payback in terms of free publicity, extra visitors and merchandising revenue.
