I'm still one of those naive individuals who is not completely, totally, absolutely, 100% convinced that Steorn is a con operation. I'm more inclined to speculate that Steorn may have simply fooled themselves - i.e.: wishful thinking & believing. Nevertheless, I fully admit the possibility that I could be wrong, dead wrong. Regardless of my own waffling I continue to admire both Terry and Stephen's efforts as they have tried to clarify what many claim is an obfuscation of the facts from carefully controlled demonstrations on Steorn's behalf. Both Terry and Stephen have given me much to think about. At present, I suspect the main reason I'm unwilling to believe it's a con job is that I can't comprehend what Steorn would expect to get from masterminding such an operation. I seem to be getting the impression that both Terry and Stephen are also having difficulty in trying to figure out what Steorn's motivations might be as well. What's the pay off. Running a deliberate con just doesn't make any sense to me. It also raises my hackles in the Occam's Razor department. If what they are doing is knowingly diversionary, a deliberate con job, isn't that eventual grounds for criminal action against them? I'm reminded of Deep Throat's advice: "Follow the money." And since we are trying to follow where the money might be coming from it seems to me that only the "true believers" who stand to be conned out of their money would be companies & corporations who end up purchasing licenses in the hopes of building their own energizer bunny. For the most part, the admiring and true-believing public are not in a position of being fleeced. Call me naive, but I'm still under the impression that Steorn hopes that their "spinny thing" will eventually pan out. I'm more inclined to speculate that Stoern continues to envision becoming filthy rich from taking a tiny slice of all the profits from the licenses they hope to sell.
