Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I agree with him. My gut agrees that they aren’t that stupid and this is intentional. What I’m saying is that he has good points that are well presented and should be answerable as to how things might be about to play out or what this might be intended to expose if what he’s saying is correct.

The question then becomes that of testing - is my (our) gut feeling correct, and if so, what’s the map from his statements to that position, or where is he wrong, or what is he overlooking?
