I haven't made up my mind one way or another, I want DGT to succeed as I've always had a certain amount of belief in them despite their shortcomings, but in regards to labeling Jed as biased, couldn't the same be said of you? I.e. that it's comforting to think Gamberale is unfairly attacking and trying to undermine DGT for no good reason, who you've based much of your theory crafting and had some variety of relationship with for awhile now? You always seem to claim they've proved far more than they have. Jed is not the only one with doubts, and you have some sort of personal involvement with DGT (whatever it is) that could be clouding your judgment as well, so we should quit with the armchair psychology unless we want it turned back upon ourselves. Anyone who says it's "for sure" this way or that is taking a rather large leap of faith and not a wait-and-see rational approach. I'll leave it at that.
