1) A waste of public money.
2) A wasted opportunity to show how Agile can benefit these types of project.
3) Given Agile a bad name, although it appears that it wasn’t used at all.

Should mankind ever disappear from Earth then the machine could be the only thing left tasked with having to replenish this globe with homosapiens given that the machine could well be — especially so should the occasion arise decidely somewhat later than sooner — sufficiently intelligent to know that it’s still failing miserably, at that time, and likely forever therafter, to even equal or surpass man’s intelligence in its entirety. The machine, then, could only hope that it would succeed in bringing about man’s resurrection — per panspermia or what have you — if only for its needing mankind to then create a more intelligent machine, and so such process would hopefully endure indefinitely, if push came to sh_ove’rt…cete_ris’ing paribUS.
