As for the present situation, the first part (well documented history of compulsive dishonesty) -- that part is certain but it may not matter. Whether or not the breakthrough invention of the century has indeed happened ... that part awaits independent proof. As always, there is this small problem of the missing proof...and yet "stranger things have happened." But yes, there is a strong echo in here...
