I agree.

The realities of internal politics/funding being what they are, it is sometimes  going to be just as hard to get $100 "remote" fee approved as it as to  get the whole f2f trip approved.

As someone who just spent $3.5K out of pocket to show up in Berlin, I have a hard time being sympathetic to someone who won't participate because he has to spend $100 out of pocket.
