To the intrepid reader struggling to make sense of this expansive tome on opportunistic sifting whilst affording an effort to reach a distant objective and the non sequitur words poetic associated with it, allow me to solve one small mystery by noting that, through carelessness or intentional and malicious misguiding, a mistake crept into the narrative in the form of an erroneous termination date stated as "25 November 2015" and that such date should be amended for purposes of more accurate visualization of the project, to "25 November 2014."
