Several of us have been calling them on it regularly.  From the draft

True.  And a fact they conveniently overlook.  The technology is there if
they want to use it.

I doubt any of us are buying it.  It is clear now that this "study" has
solely been an exercise to give a cloak of respecctability to an attempt to

Internet.  But as you point out, the cloak is threadbare, and we see the
sickness inside for what it is.
