In his defense, it was I who said that the JBI's retraction of the claims made in the SAIC report based on assumptions that may no longer be valid (that is what they said) were due to assumptions provided by JBI.  Things like being able to run the processor for more than 3 days without modification, no need to separate plastic to control the process, etc.

The executive summary assumed that the process could be scaled up.  I'm not sure why or how those types of assumptions were made.  Clearly the process did not scale up without major modifications that totally destroyed the business model.  Well, at least the business model that had JBI owning all the machines and making gobs of money selling the fuel.  We'll see if there is a viable business model selling the machines and collecting any possible royalties.  Not expecting the royalties to be much if the process can only break even.

So WTF happened?

I still have no idea why JBI would "deviously" leak the E.S.  For what purpose?  To try to make SAIC look bad rather than themselves?

The whole SAIC saga makes no sense to me any way I look at it.
