But I saw it with my own eyes!
Honest John turned on the spigot, and liquid gold came flowing outta The Beast. And that nice fellow took some in a jar, poured it into his lawnmower, and IT RAN!
Then Honest John sent some of that liquid gold to a lab, and they VERIFIED it was really spec fuel!
Then Honest John gave a list of numbers to an engineering company, and they VERIFIED that if everything Honest John said was true, then the process worked! They said so in a "fulsome report", no less.
Being able to produce spec fuel for less than $10/bbl and sell it for WTI-$3 is at odds with the company's financial filings over the last decade, but sometimes reality just doesn't fit the facts.
