Seems like it took a rather long time, for enough particles to stream in, sufficient enough to collect an image.
I'm unsure how a sensor array, large enough to image a volcano's underlying magma chamber could be constructed, or how, an imaging team could receive enough funding to construct and bury it 'underneath.' The single cost might exceed the entire GDP of some nations. And there's thousands of volcanoes to monitor.

More absolutist nonsense. No need to monitor ever single one. Just monitor the ones that will probably erupt to obtain a baseline of what it looks like then also the ones near populated areas that seem like they could be in danger of erupting where a 2 days notice could save a few hundred thousand people.
Ones in the middle of nowhere, who cares.
