It certainly wasn’t a rejection on November 28. You be can be sarcastic and act smug, but you don’t know what the chm did. The longs have certainly jumped the gun at times, but so have the bears. You thought the maa was headed for appeal last early spring. Wrong.
Atl is making a logical assumption if there was a positive chm, so long as another minor rfi was not requested. (Assuming DCVax-l was considered on November 28)
