Jeff, as usual with this topic, things get curiouser and curiouser. Several commenters have remarked and the closeness of this search area to that suggested by Marchand and Blelly. I haven't read any of Victor's thoughts yet. But today, I happened to catch Messrs. Godfrey and Thomas taking a shot at your theory. Or rather, they read a message from an fan decrying your "radical Left" politics. My goodness. I'm 72, and never thought I'd live to see a right-winger defending the honor of a Russian dictator.
Yes, if Armada 78 06 keeps progressing as it has it will soon begin searching an area proposed by Marchand and Blelly. As I say in this episode, their choice of path is one of many that is possible; a more professional approach would be to take a page from "Bayesian Methods" and assess the population of all possible routes to draw a probability distribution. As for my "radical Left" politics, well yes, we truly have arrived at a bizarre cultural and political moment...
