Oh, I find the poem a nice tongue-in-cheek from its designer. We have
always wanted refined high precission physical science to be dwelled

The issues of CBTs needs to be understood before attempting it. Opening
them in vacuum or inert environment seems possible, but time-consuming
as well as requiring a bit of speciallized toolset (lathe inside inert
environment is just not lying around).
