We don't know if they are or are not planning a demo.
At least one person of merit has said that they plan a engineering type paper
at ICCF and a low key demo at NI Week. But that is rumor. I have tried and
tried to get confirmation. I feeling is that they want a surprise factor.
Also there is the "cabbie award". Perhaps they are planning a demo for that
one.
I personally think that we need the public on our side and that means taking
demos and information to a new audience. But I guess it depends on your
desired outcome. If you just think of money then you may take a different
tactic than if you are just after public awareness.
I personally think that public awareness must proceed the other steps.
Speaking in terms of linear algebra if you want to span a new vector space,
then you must use new vectors that have components orthogonal to your existing
ones. That is, if you want results of acceptance different from what has been
occurring for the last 24 years, then you must do something different and for a
different set of individuals and not seek to comfort and appease the same old
group. Pleasing Vortex, CMNS,...... is not going to change much. It may even
be required to go against the existing "group wisdom" to achieve new and
different results. Group wisdom is Ok for activities closely related to the
group but you must often go outside of that for outside acceptance.

Maybe DGT is trying to perfect a common man type of demo, to advance the
evaluation of their product above the outrages slings and arrows of the
experts.
