I don’t think we were disagreeing, lissener… I was just using the term “theoretically” in a much broader sense. I’m a physicist; I’m used to talking about things that would require more energy than is present in the entire known Universe as theoretically possible. What I meant was that it’s conceivable that someday, perhaps a few thousand years hence, we may be able to produce such chickens, but I never meant to imply that we currently had even the least clue how to go about doing so.
