       | This discovery and the video are amazing but I must admit I felt
       | a bit conflicted when I read that the team that was there,
       | ostensibly to observe, started erecting structures to see which
       | ones the octopuses might want to lay eggs in. Doesn't that seem a
       | bit invasive?
