- To the best of my knowledge, the only statement in my posting which is
- not a solidly-established fact -- verifiable by reference to the Allen
- panel's report -- is my opinion that P-E management, having ignored two
- indications of trouble (actually three, if you count the fact that the
- reflective null corrector unexpectedly required extra spacing washers),
- would have disregarded the results of other simple tests too, unless
- they were absolutely unmistakable (i.e. an end-to-end imaging test).
-
- If I am in error -- certainly possible -- I'd appreciate hearing about
- it, preferably with enough detail so I can verify it.
