Yeah I'll set something up.

Sterling doesn't think Mylow's behavior warranted extreme skepticism and/or outright rudeness. It did. Sterling is wrong.

No he is not.

When pushed into an indefensible position there is only one way too respond ATTACK !!! That is what he is doing, which is of course completely correct.

This will hopefully keep the idiots busy while he is consolidating his forces and executes plan B, which is his fall back situation. There is already evidence he is doing just that.

My guess it, this whole saga is far from over. The prize is still out there, a bit harder to reach now, but still within the realm of possibility. The battle will go on. Watch for vicious personal attacks, they are likely to be next. From where, I don't know, but they will come.

My forecast is that Mylow will now be portrayed as a martyr and the skeptics will become the allies of those MIB's that have been plaguing "Truth, Justice and The American Way". Mylow then will become Superman who rescues Lois Lane just in time.

Be prepared for another 30 years of Howard Johnson BS.

Mark my words.

TK, look closely at the line from 1:10 to 1:19

I'm not so sure that black line is really the drive line. It might only be shadows from the disk that make the black line look like it's moving. The line is also too parallel to the edge of the bureau, and as the camera moves it stays in the same relationship to the edge. And the line must be paired, anyway , I think.
I do think I see the line in another part of that vid, but it's a monofilament, not black. I think.
But this video is clearly a vid of a driven disk, for other reasons, mostly Tony's behaviour and their dialog. And also, look at the very last half-second of that vid. You'll see Tony do a classic "balk" when he's afraid the disk got away from him and moved when it shouldn't have. Even though you can clearly hear the CLICK when Mylow turns off the motor a little earlier.

And how long do they say the time is on the stopwatch? And how long has the motor _really_ been turning at that point? Watch it closely. I see that motor go from Tony's starting it to full speed in 39 seconds. Not 4 or 5 minutes like they are saying right at the same time.
Tony's lines are rehearsed, Mylow is adlibbing and they screwed up bigtime on this take.

I see that thing that looks like lumps of black sliding along. But I still think it might be shadows. Tony could be moving around above the disk...
It just doesn't look like a drive line to me and it's too obvious, even Mylow would not let that slip past.
1) this line is much heavier and blacker than previously
2) the line's projection seems to go well behind the motor's pedestal rather than close to center like it should
3) there's no second line evident

I'd hate to claim that there's a line there, and then have him show that it's just a feature of the tabletop. Remember when I thought the line in the TV case was a wire? Those folks on the other side of the fence (OSOTF) would make much of an error like that in this case. So I urge caution. Of course I haven't seen the high-res version yet, either. I might change my mind then.

I might make a T-shirt with the famous (infamous?) words.....

"No Tony, it's ok, you can let go.  Tony, you can let go now it's ok"

I think it is safe to say.....Tony has let go.
