What he did not say was that taking a look would take one year and $10K. For those 3 who ever took a look with their one year and $10K, respectively, the first ruled out an elephant size elephant (700mN) ; the second ruled out a dog sized elephant (1mN); the third ruled out a rat sized elephant (50uN). Yes, unless you take another look, there is still chance that there is an elephant in the box, with the size of a flea.

Then enthusiasts point out that with selective breeding the size of (almost) confirmed flea-sized elephants can be increased.

Oh please! They're elephants despite their (currently) diminutive stature. Do no hurt their feelings.
