Not a change of heart as such, but my view is that this just isn't the time to be arguing about the rights and wrongs. With three weeks to keep the project going, our attention ought to be on publicising their plight, and we can worry about the details later.
Regardless of the peculiar (and uncovincing) stories we've read, at least Pleming has taken the time to specifically answer all of my questions and even he accepts that they've not done the best of jobs in publicising and promoting the project. He also freely admits that there have been unforseen costs. Unfortunately he's also unwell at the moment (going into hospital next week) so he's rather out of the loop at a critical time.
So whilst there is much that should be investigated and dicussed, it just seems counter-productive to be worrying about the details, including all of the above discussions on the aircraft's complexity, when there will be nothing to discuss in three weeks, unless the project can be saved.
