Well, Hoyt, you can get off the thin ice, I will ask you some generic
questions that should not involve the violation of any enforceable NDA.
1. Do you understand how the device works, sufficiently that if
Steorn were to disappear, you could reproduce it? Do you have
documentation this, adequate to reproduce?
2. Do you know that it works, that there is excess energy in the system?
3. How do you know this? I'm not asking for specific, just a general
comment that can later be compared with what becomes known. To put
this question a different way, how much are you relying on your own
experience and how much on what they have told you?
4. Is there a time limit on the NDA?
5. If you found what you believed to be fraud, would you be
prohibited by the NDA from revealing this to the authorities? (If so,
the NDA is itself illegal and unenforceable.)
6. Can you discuss what you have found with anyone, such as your own
employees or counselors?
7. How the eff do you explain the really dumb demonstration, laden
with hosts of obvious flaws? I have a theory, as you may have
noticed. Other than that theory, the default idea seems to be that
they are just plain dumb and incompetent. How would you explain that
a bunch of incompetent people have ended up in control of this
discovery with huge consequences?
8. Can you understand why we are Skeptical as Hell? Would it be
rational for us to believe at this point that there was any
significant possibility that there really is an over unity device
here? Out of what is publicly known, can you give us a reason to
think otherwise?
9. Suppose a possible investor were to consult with you. Before
putting any money in and getting the information you have, could that
investor purchase an indemnity from you, such that you would have to
cover the investor's losses if there were fraud involved on the part
of Steorn? After all, if the information is solid and has been
confirmed by you, the indemnity would be easy money.
