Sorry, that attempt at defense does not hold water. The tests contracted are simple, the equipment simple. The results would be no different from those stated to have been measured in-house. If contracted to measure such and such, and defined the lab space, time, and people to do it, if Wanderport didn't like the results, so be it - full charge. No shortcoming on the part of Intertek.
I tend to believe Robert has always wanted to build the unit, but gradually came to understand that the vision of a consumer unit for houses that would provide never before heard of convenience and economy was impossible. There could still be possibility of hitting other market niches however, so Robert ponied on. All the time however, the company founders could care less whether there is ever a product of not. Such was not a requirement for their plan for the shell. However, when it started to appear that there were believers willing to invest the company focus on actually getting a working unit going shifted. After all, other companies set up by the same bunch apparently had last round milkings centered on rumors of buy-outs, etc..
All the same, for what we were told was going to be measured, as provided in the contractual mandate to Intertek, only rudimentary instrumentation is needed. To halt the tests for reasons you imagine, and then tell the public some completely different version of things would just be a continuation of the same old behavior. To expect that halting the tests and tweaking the unit would make it so that results to their liking could then be obtained simply overlooks the physics and the fact that they had indicated a couple times that they had in-house results (which they must have known would be what they are when Intertek measured).
Try again. You might find a way to make it add up. Not yet imo however.
