OK, let's say Paul "skewed" the truth or "bent" it a bit. In the end, he thought he would get away with it and come out looking like a rose. Suppose he got caught because things didn't turn out as he had hoped, and he's that kind of guy because he is an optimistic man, as I am.
He still believes that the Harp is his golden ticket to success, and he believes in the Harp. Whether or not a distant observer, somewhat removed from the eyeballed action so to speak, read that Paul had been scanned, he knew his knees were bad but had discovered there as another thing wrong that he didn't know about.
In such a case, some are going to say, "Yeah, right" while others will say "maybe, maybe not," and the optimists accept it as it was meant to be portrayed, because they get a feel for what a man is like.
Now with Lee, even the most optimistic person will see him as narcissistic man, a genius with inventions, but clueless in business. I know Paul has said, in so many words, that he wanted nothing to do with this guy, especially when it comes to his and our company, because he cannot trust the man. If you thought Paul was a liar and possibly a thief, Lee was the biggest threat to Paul's dream as anything.
I personally believe Paul wants to continue with that dream as fast as he can humanly achieve it. That may be way too slow for others, while some just figure it'll take however long it'll take, because they know this could truly be a life-changing event, not only for them personally, but to millions of people.
