Of course I'm making lots of assumptions. Some of them may even stretch the sensibilities of Occam's Razor. Guilty as charged. And you haven't any assumptions? I lost count. It often seems to me that many of your explanations tend to be extremely long, verbose, and exquisitely complex in their machinations. Quite ingenious, most of them, actually. (PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF YOUR DEDUCTIVE PROCESS!) Nevertheless, it's been my experience that being gifted with an IQ of +140 as well as the gift of good grammar (a talent that has taken me decades to cultivate to the barest limited degree of acceptability) does not necessarily mean the fruits of a stratospheric IQ is anymore capable of generating realistic assumptions that are any more in-tune than those of Mongo's, who learns a valuable lesson after opening a special delivery box of candy. Let me respond to only one small portion of a few assumptions you have made... that appear to be based on one of my assumptions: > You imagine that they would be tarred and feathered > and jailed. Okay, "jailed." What would be the charge? > Deceiving the public? But that is not generally a > crime, and magicians do it all the time. Deceiving > people who purchase the right to see the technology? > Without knowing the NDA contents, it's difficult to > know that there has been any deception of these > people at all. As one extreme, what you get when > you sign the NDA is a disclosure that there is this > idea that might result in over unity power, but that > they haven't proven it yet, they are working on it. > Or perhaps there is a disclosure that it's all for > show, and if you reveal that, well, you will be > sued. They gave you what you paid for, the "secret." Yes, Mongo still find way to jail them. Mongo see lots of other Mongos out there too. We all unhappy too. We all find way to jail them all. Lose key, too! Hee hee. Mongo then go to candy store and buy OWN box of candy. > But I don't see any evidence that they actually have something. Strange as it might seem for me to say this at the moment: Mongo agrees. Mongo looking for special delivery boxes. Mongo curious to see who gets them. Mongo want to watch, from a distance.
