While you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, I find it singularly over-stated. "Huge" and "any" are entirely out of proportion to the actual cost and potential benefits of having, for example, staff trained, willing and able to attend remote meetings and conferences in/via SL. Costs will come down as open source competition matures and I think it reasonable to assume that virtual research environments will also embrace this space in due course. Just my opinion, of course.
