The only problem I have with it is that they tried to tie the milestones to this mechanical difficulty. They didn't actually come right out and say it, but that was the implication.

Now, assuming it's all garbage since no one has said anything about it up until now, could they really come out with news tomorrow? Wouldn't the chips have to be complete? How could they be complete if yesterday you told us the machine was down for 3 months (for the first time)?

Were they doing it in parallel with BAe?
