You are right on everything you said.
I am not interested in getting into a uranating contest. Have a nice day.
Thanks

"mirrors and if they are not perfect they just keep chucking them into a pile "
They would be sent back to the fine grinding stage.? Much cheaper than hand figuring.
" hand polishing is done on the large telescope mirrors like the one in the Hubble..."
That supports my contention that hand polishing is prohibitively expensive.
"... He and I went down to the mirror lab one day? ..."
I have also toured several optical labs; e.g. UCO at UCSC (Keck), Star Instruments (RCOS).? That is the source of my skepticism.
