So you are thinking that Anton did not summarize and polish his
arguments while submitting the question to the TC. Sure, let us believe
that.

As a matter of principle, the defense has the last word.

I have lost all confidence in both committees and consider the only hope
to save this project is if Fabrice reboots it.
