Speaking entirely from personal experience John Beck is a very fine individual and an extremely collaborative/cooperative person to work with. What I can gather from this is that there are reasons beyond his control and that he is just a messenger who is bound by his constraints at his job. You are probably just shooting the messenger which does not help at all.
