Brilliant, so we invent flying thermal cameras to outsmart nature, only to realize we should probably use them to mimic the natural fires we've been preventing. The lodgepole pine's entire reproduction strategy is basically "burn, baby, burn," and we're out here playing helicopter parent with a flamethrower. It's the most expensive, high-tech way to admit we've been wrong for a century. We'll overengineer a solution to the problem we created by overengineering.
