I think the way Monsanto looks at it is that we create the data, but we don't write the test. There are certain things we need to deliver up to get regulatory approval. We don't get to decide what we submit, but we do have to submit a robust data package for all the technologies we propose be advanced. Those are scrutinized. People come back with questions. They ask us about our data and how we obtained it. I like to think of it as our having to incur the cost of creating the data. We don't get to pick what we submit. We submit what's required, and we're obligated to commit to a full regulatory approval. So I think a distinction needs to be made there.
