Yes, I believe so. Part of the reason why we also made this a retcon as opposed to a real-time discovery was so it could permeate out a bit.

And to address the timeline a little bit, there's been some confusion about Imperator Addison. In the article we said in 2949 the first successful regeneration happened. And then when Addison came into office, she dedicated a large portion of the budget into proliferating the technology throughout the empire. And I guess there was some confusion because Addison didn't come into office until 2951. The idea was that after the first regeneration in 2949, development continued and people were very excited about it and it was starting to spread, but it was still limited in scope as to who could get access to this technology, who was able to be regenerated. And so Addison's part of it was making it standard. She forced the companies to make it so that everyone could be producing it. There was a mass initiative to make sure that every hospital had it, rather than just the biggest hospital on Terra or something like that. So that was what happened after she came into office, and that's why it's so common right now.
