##  That's my guess too.
  Due to the defensive/secretive attitude I encountered, asking would be a
waste of time. They hedged most of the simple questions and ignored all the
others.
Observing the general conditions and equipment available, I doubt seriously
that they have any idea and couldn't answer even if they weren't so defensive.
..and they didn't seem the type to honestly say "I don't know".

 No whys and hows on the yellow cash cow.
..and we ain't sellin it to you anyhow.
so you have no right to know,
now go.
 I went.
