His name is Chris Jordan, from "a manufacturing
company." Why he chooses to keep it secret is
anybody's guess, but of course it is rude.

His problem is that he has calculated a response
using a mathematical formula that apparently is
well represented by a quadratic, and hence R^2 is
near unity -- the difference is likely due to
rounding. It is not a statistical problem. The
design, by the way, is not D-optimal, but rather
has an efficiency of about 20%.
