I used it as an example of line size. Anyone with a couple of decent
cyberarms has a A resources and would be able to commit consider
resources to something a mundane as a high tech high strength rope.
Monofiliment exists at leats for whips so it seems reasonable that a
line comparable to today's fishing line would be available for those
with the resources. I wonder what you could get today if you were
willing to spend 10000-20000 dollars on 100m of the best line you could
find.
