I'm pretty sure the gentlemen referred to below is not "some ERHC hack at a meeting in Houston". I asked the question about the chance of success to Ntephe who then, as I remember, passed the question to ERHC's senior Geoscientist who answered the question. Still not sure why anybody wanted that number hidden. Probably because they believed it was a lousy number. It wasn't. But it wasn't great either. Trying to hide it is atrocious conduct and I am glad I was not a part of.
