I strongly believe that post cruise data-processing is less complete and less
precise when compared to that which is done immediately on board while our
minds and our energy are focused on the mission at hand. This is especially true
for the interpretation of images from the sea floor and for mapping done by
manned and unmanned engines, such as submersibles and robots.
