Simpler explanation:
Jed's witness is not telling the truth.
We don't know who this guy is so for our point of view this is
completely possible that he is saying things that are not true.
Unless we know more about the witness (and even in that case one
witness would not be enough) we cannot say for sure what is going on.
Jed, as you said, this is interesting preliminary information but
not evidence at all.
This was never claimed to be evidence. It is notable because it is
the first independent statement that has been issued outside of
Defkalion which even hints that there is something behind their specification.
As for its validity -- as Jed said, "Take it or Leave it".
ps : On the demonstration front -- I once demonstrated a new
Engineering Workstation --- schematic entry, logic simulation
We were still coding the night before the exhibition floor opened (DAC 1983).
Nobody noticed that after issuing a "redraw" of a complicated
schematic or layout I held the mouse perfectly still. If I didn't,
the system would freeze and we'd have to reboot (which took about 15
minutes those days).
It was real, of course ... just not quite customer-ready.
