Hey look all the oil disappeared again

Yesterday's T-P even points us to another helpful food metaphor to help us visualize the vanishing.

"Keep in mind that if we're finding a half a part per billion at the highest, we wouldn't be able to recover in the water column itself at parts per 10," Lehmann said. "It's like trying to get cream out of your coffee, we just don't do it. There's a limitation to what we can do in terms of mitigating the oil in the environment."

Not sure if they're saying the oil is "mostly gone" as the headline states or if they're saying it's very difficult to clean up this oil so it may as well have vanished as far as they're concerned.
