I guess it's the difference between having a bakery offer a tasting of their cake weeks before the wedding, VS having 5 bakeries show up with the day of the wedding with completed cakes and only paying for one.
No one would argue that doing sample tastings a variety of bakeries is in poor taste, most would agree the second scenario is most unreasonable.

The bar is currently set at ZERO for cost. 3M has already put forward three options that cost the taxpayers nothing. Whether you like it or not, in this particular case money won't (or shouldn't) be a factor.

THAT is a huge assumption.
You may very well get a fantastic result, and perhaps from a student who wants to go into this industry. You just do NOT know.
I would actually expect an A result, simply due to the sheer volume of potential options.
