Using the cover of mad ramblings to plant the seeds of doubt to keep the true believers following after a less than exciting outcome on the 28th IMHO.

The plan, as described is madness from an engineering standpoint anyway. In my career, I have been forced to send first article prototypes to customers, but not without at least some rudimentary performance testing. This plan: Don’t know how it works, don’t know if it works, but they’re going to turn it over to a customer and let them fire up the whole smash. And they’re going to be in production in months.

I’m trying hard to be a neutral but skeptical observer, but it’s getting harder.

Any sort of close examination would agree. But the customer is likely someone like Leonardo Technologies in New Hampshire, a “consulting” firm or Ampenergo which is...who knows what it is.

I wonder what the “self destruct” mechanism is...Maybe that's a code name for the whole project.
