It said that they're comparing the memory from this signal to the memory banks when it was in a known-good state and that it would take (possibly) months. And I wondered why they couldn't diff it. But as I'm typing, they probably need to account for measurements and data collected in between as opposed to just resetting something to the previous state.

Flip those bits, NASA. I'm hopeful.
