Possible yes, but remember, one never knows how this will play out - we
usually hear about it after the fact. We did get some samples from yards
where this occurred when we had some time to revisit some of the CA yards
during the 2006-2007 collapse - that's in part why we started following the line
of investigation that we eventually settled on.
But, we usually arrive after the collapse - that's when the beekeeper
calls. And lots of the big money was spent trying to do longitudinal studies -
where one follows collapsing operations. Problem is, never know once its
hit, when it will hit again. The survivor colonies may do fine for a long
time. So you eat up your funds chasing a ghost.
