Im sorry, but you missed PvK' point completely.

Not really. His point was that creating a duplicate of Oxford would not double total research output. My rebuttal was that you wouldn't create a duplicate of Oxford, you'd take that much area and create a brand new research lab. When properly funded and directed it would not work on the problems that are mostly the same as those at existing labs, and would thereby increase research by an amount commesurate to its sizer and resource allotment.
