Who told you there are only two?!? Where did you get that information?
I know more than two people there myself. I know several people who have
visited Defkalion and met more than two tech people. I do not know how
many, but it is at least a dozen. I have not asked how many people they
have. I never anticipated this . . . line of questioning, or the notion
that there might be only two.
"They purchased millions of dollars of equipment" --> We don't have a
precise number, we need to remove the mantissa --> "They had some
dollars worth of equipment"
It is not hard to estimate the cost of equipment.
You get the point.
No, I do not. Do you know any place that rents out SEMs and mass
spectrometers?
Oh, yes, I particularly liked this one: "He can easily tell they are
qualified." Darn, we could use a guy like that! To tell if someone's
qualified, it takes *us* a couple days of interviews, time spent
poring over their resume . . .
He spend several days interviewing them! They discussed the technical
issues in depth. A person cannot fake that.
