Owl, that makes very little sense to me, sorry. Again, all this talk about the initial demonstration -- that the 'emporor had no clothes', blah blah, yada.
If anyone actually recalls the timeline -- there's key things you're completely leaving out. Like, ummm, the fact that the demonstration was to complete on the initial promise made to complete a prototype -- and that as soon as Bob and his team (the NASA Rejects as Vern likes to call them -- talk about ego) realized immediately that the design needed to change in design in order to be ultimately feasible for operation.
I guess, if you can point your finger at Tim in anyway in relation to that topic -- it would probably be that he trusted Vern just a little too much -- and at the end of the day, when people with more design experience walked into that place, they found themselves in a race to get things straightened out the way they should have been.
You're giving Tim far too much credit as being some kind of scam/con artist -- a mad scientist in the realm of financing, when his entire background is based and centered on deployment and technologies.
Lynch on the otherhand... Lynch's experience is interesting -- and his contacts and former employer is interesting.
