Dean 's Blue Hole. Long Island, Bahamas.November 17th, 2013. The warm Atlantic sloshed in Nicholas Mobley's ears as he floated into the competition zone at Dean 's Blue Hole.

Dean Karlan: So, I mean, there is, though, I mean, so clearly.

Female Audience Member #1: Yeah. But I guess my question is: From a government perspective they get the money. Where's their incentive to provide this proof of value to us? Dean Karlan: So there is -- okay, so, there is -- look. There's a political risk that obviously a lot have overcome. But, you know, nobody wants their program to appear likea failure.
