Master Benedict Cortez had gone through a similar journey as Ves. He had lived for over 150 years, and spent much of it struggling to progress his design philosophy and explore his way forward.
As a pioneer of his own field, he had to make a lot of difficult choices on how he wanted to allocate his time. No mech designer could spend his time on pursuing every possible application of their field of specialization.
Aside from monstrous outliers such as the Polymath, every other mech designer eventually had to give up on pursuing other ideas to the limit in order to make sure they retained the capital to break through.
Ves understood that the choice between Superpublishing the Dullahan Project or the Ghost Project indirectly affected his subsequent career.
"You are at the point in your life where you have started to move beyond the limitations of a Journeyman Mech Designer." Master Benedict accurately pointed out. "What are Journeymen in your opinion?"
