Your shallow assumptions about people demonstrates that you aren't prepared to consider and fairly balance other's views. Your comment about Dr T also shows that you didn't see the main point PC needs to get on with executing his responsibilities. Dr. T should continue to do what he needs to do and is good at but the executive need to execute their part and get on with commericlizing their main product. PC (as numerous others have said) didn't get his most improtant messages across very well. He had plenty of time to prep for the EC session. He didn't do his part particulalry well in front of a receptive audience. To tell Bay street folks that you have invited to hear you speak that you don't need their money is not a particularly good long term strategy.
