Batting, I have already posted on the quality of EEGC PRs, and your only response was, 'Your intent is obvious.' You didn't disagree with any factual assertion I made.
But, let's suppose the issue is still open. The most recent PR said drilling would happen in mid-November; shall we decide our debate based upon the outcome of that single commitment?
As it is end of September and the rig is not even ordered (at least, per publicly known information), and the money promised by Mr. Haftel on Sept 6 to be arriving 'within a week or so' has not yet shown up (again, per public info) -- I'd make a strong bet that mid-November won't happen.
But, 'time will tell,' we can then revisit the discussion. But I do believe that unfortunately (as I am a long from 2008, based on believing the PRs) the cynics (re the accuracy of forward looking EEGC PRs) appear to have history on their side.
