I think y'all are beating this thing to death.
My question about deception would be, what exactly is on the slide Jurek is upset about? He was good enough to mention something about slide 8 on the next-to-last presentation ... I went through a few presentations earlier and didn't see anything that even seemed could apply so I'm probably not finding the correct presentation.
For what it's worth, I've never seen anything come out of Connacher that didn't seem to err on the side of conservative, to say misleading seems a pretty far stretch unless something accidental was presented.
