I do not dispute your accounting of the bored meter reading technician. But this is 2016, and Rossi had 11.5 million dollars at his disposal. There's zero reason that there wasn't a fully automated data collection system in place, collecting data from all data sources at a frequency of 1 sample per second or more. I see three possibilities: (1) there was such a system in place, and IH were given some strange and inaccurate summary, provided for reasons that only Rossi knows; (2) there was no such system in place, because Penon was not the right person for the job; or (3) there was no such system in place, because Rossi interfered and prevented Penon from setting up such a system. In all three cases, things look quite bad. Eric
