Aaron"Your take that you won't go and listen to the evidence because you can't get a tour of the Mastro facility is laughable. You are going to the National and won't take 15 minutes to hear there spiel there. I don't get it. I guess my feeble brain is about to explode."
As I've explained earlier in this thread, I think the issue of the streak bat is best left up to the Planich litigation to decide on. I don't know if Bushing's authentication was accurate or not, and I don't believe that hearing a biased, one-sided orchestrated presentation will help me make up my mind.
The Planich litigation, OTOH, will offer depositions and testimony under oath, with questions coming from informed adverse counsel. Same goes for the evidentiary exhibits which will be forcefully obtained (and not subject to SCDA's picking and choosing) and critically examined.
Once those facts are brought to light, then I think we (including Jay, Lee and dan) can all make more informed decisions about the streak bat (and Bushing's overall authentication techniques).
The only other matter is the undisclosed conflict of interest issue. I have exchanged posts here with Troy, as well as private e-mail exchanges on the topic. He has his opinion on things, and I have mine. I have offered suggestions as to what I think will satisfy ethical obligations as well as their own financial concerns. Whether they choose to incorporate those suggestions are up to them.
Otherwise, there's no more point in him trying to persuade me of anything or vice versa. Our minds are made up.
So, what's left to say to them or them to me?
