This thing about AM checking this tech out more carefully, makes a point I've been trying to make here for months: how are so many here so sure this tech works in all the ways it needs to in order to be a commercial success, when AM apparently has to reassure himself now?

I assume AM has the kind of tech people who are capable of doing this further examination of the tech, and who will be objective in their findings. And hopefully, will be able to get on this and do this quickly, as AM's being not quite 100% sold on the product is a significant drawback.

I hope there is a way to find out when it is that AM can start dialing his industry pals, and I really hope we're not talking about more than a month or two, although I have no idea what it would take to accomplish this task, to get AM the certainty he apparently needs to be comfortable.

Perhaps I was naive in believing he was beyond that point in his understanding of the tech.

I'll tell you one thing, it's going to be a grey day in Black Rock if AM bails on POET, because investors are going to know exactly why. On the converse side, I just want to know when he gets confirmation that the tech works as advertised by the Company, not to mention the truly smart guys on this board. Not likely to be an NR re that, but perhaps there will be another manner in which that info can be conveyed. For example, "our team, led by AM, visited ________ to discuss the POET technology." Even filling in the blank with a generic "two leading chip makers" would do it.
