Are you serious? Do you sincerely believe that a professional
scientist could spend several days in the laboratory talking to
people, looking at instruments and data, and not recognize that
the equipment is fake and the researchers are pretending? As my
contact put it, "I know a laboratory when I see one."
Uhhun. I hope he knows whose it is also.

A relevant quote:
Prosecutors accused Paradyne of faking a computer demonstration during
the bidding process by showing equipment that was *neither fully
developed _nor Paradyne's_*_._
