I was very confused for a moment there as a scientist and rugby referee.
Regardless, your point makes real sense in both contexts.

New research reveals that much of the spring runoff in the Western U.S. is not from recent snowmelt but from snow that fell 3–15 years ago. This challenges existing water models and has significant implications for water management.

Spring runoff is older than you think: Study reveals years-long underground journey

Growing communities and extensive agriculture throughout the Western United States rely on meltwater that spills out of snow-capped mountains every spring. The models for predicting the amount of this...

The future is autonomy at scale. In science and war. No more single operator flying a small drone w short areal coverage. It won't be long before we use cheap swarms in formation. The challenge is programming (and deep learning) not hardware cost.

It just rained so hard my goretex jacket couldn't hold out. We're so wet that on the way home we happily waded across mires and weren't fussed at stream crossings.
