Representative Wahl’s statement was a model of calm and moderation. Also, in my opinion, naïve. While I didn’t want to be at odds with the Pav, I was fairly certain that their fleet was growing slowly only because they were putting most of their current production capacity into creating more autofactories. A lot of effort spent bootstrapping early on would pay handsomely down the road. And the Pav, unlike humans, were disciplined enough to take the long view about such things.
