For example, many analysts of Saddam Hussein's WMD statements came to a conclusion that the dictator was attempting to convince nations like the United States that his country possessed no WMDs while simultaneously trying to suggest to neighbors, particularly adversaries like Iran, that he did possess them. Needless to say, generating these kinds of contradictions can cause a lot of confusion and miscalculation. Likewise, many have speculated that Rossi, in a sense, may be playing a similar kind of disinformation game with the public, and particularly with potential competitors. Sowing a few seeds of disinformation which could be perceived by skeptics (and potential competitors) as fraudulent claims while Rossi is still in the process of getting his enterprise off the ground could turn out to be economically advantageous. It helps get Rossi's enterprise out of the starting gate with a good head start because potential competitors initially won't take his audacious claims seriously. The ultimate question may turn out to be who was playing who here. Hopefully, we will know the answer to such questions within a year or so.
