Let's not forget reality guys.  The reality is that Philip has consistantly told everybody the reasons (within reason for anybody with half a brain) deadlines were missed.  The ONLY thing he is partially guilty of is not appreciating the effect of unknown unknowns on deadlines and not framing his predications with the appropriate legalese.  Nearly everyone else on this forum works (or worked (if they ever had)) in a process within established fields where there are virtually NO unknown unknowns to impede a deadline.

Not really.  Deadlines were announced that were not achievable *even if* the technology worked.  Tight deadlines were announced when it was completely unnecessary and deadlines were made when none were needed.

Thus, there is more than marketing and legality missing here....and I'd say that your assumptions about your development work betray some naivete on your part.

It doesn't matter how many reds there are in a row in roulette, the chances of the next one being black are still 50/50.

You are imagining a different pattern than I am deducing with this, perhaps because of your past experience... which can be a hinderance when new things come along - as I have mentioned.  I suggest that you are cherry picking the negative whilst filtering the rest.

To say that the "only thing we have now" is the May 15 date is a reflection of this.  In actual fact what we have is an open and honest timeline of events, information regarding mishaps which lead to delays, the entire concept laid out in front of us and an experiment (or two) for all to do to dis/prove it.

Have you performed the experiment?  No.

Your post conflates this concept with repeated failed ones from the "free energy" coven.  In doing so you discount the fact that this may well be the 21st century equivalent of a solar panel.  So whilst the rhetoric all points in one direction, you fail to commit to your conclusion.  Why not compare to physics.... remember electricity flowed the "wrong" way at one point.... of the latter centuries?

Just call Phil a liar and a cheat and be done with it, rather than hiding behind repetitive, passive aggressive musings.  At the moment you are hedging your bets so you will never be actually wrong.... if this is the case then what's the point of repetition if you can't commit?

I'd say that you thinking that this betrays naivety on my part is a compliment.  Let's play Spot the Difference...

I will agree with you in terms of unnecessarily tight dealines though.  Not that they were unachievable, unless you are a time travelling and/or omnipresent flea, in which case I defer to your inside knowledge.

At a guess, you have assumed block-level scope where none exists?
