BEAM /VISX Merger?

In speaking with a reliable source, rumor has it BEAM and Visx may merge. It makes sense. Litigation against Pillar Partners will be mute. Competition and rivalry will disappear. Together they will be a powerhouse without monopolistic anti-trust problems. In addition, as a team, they will be better able to defend their patents (all) with less costs than as seperate entities. Finally, all manufacturing, administrative and advertisement expenses will be much less with the combined synergies of both companies. And this is only the beginning. Any thoughts...?
