Fair enough. While we can't negotiate truth I would place a bet that 1a's make less gold, if any, per event/explosion than pulsar explosions. Pulsars are numerous enough to base space navigation principles upon. Most neutron stars and magnetars can not be seen. I spoke of gold as a popular curiosity that could intice/attract more questions. Like bringing up diamond planets and 'diamond rain'. What is rare here is not rare everywhere. Perhaps what is rare is life but I usually think life is ubiquitous.
