Indeed, it looks like that Dick-head had anticipated that Rossi will decline his offer as he did (no surprise here!), but he did not anticipate that Defkalion might accept it. Therefore he had to find some sort of ridiculous excuse to go away from the deal in a manner that it would look like that Defkalion had declined. First he tried to be as impolite as possible towards Defkalion, such as wanted to have single person whom to pay $1M, he declined the requested Skype discussion and published Defkalion's private messages.
But as Defkalion was persistent and was even willing to accept Dick's silly demands such as shorten(!) the test to 6 hours, so Dick decided to withdraw, although Defkalion promised full rights to publish the data. At least if we look this single datapoint, we cannot make conclusion that having money would correlate with being smart. ―Jouni Sent from my iPad On 21 Feb 2012, at 23:17, Jarold McWilliams <oldja...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I agree.
