stock, I absolutely agree with you. A peek inside would be pointless. The last line you wrote in the post says enough.
"just the actual amount that is reported via the company."
The company has made it very clear that the refinery they are putting together would be capable of producing 2.9 million gallons annually if running 24/365, and that their intended production hours would produce about 1/3 of that total.
How would some uneducated eyeball test validate anything different than what the company has already stated about the equipment?
