As someone intimately familiar with the workings of HF research at NASA and in the private sector, I'd be careful about assumptions that the research done at JB will be unbiased and show the true effects of fatigue. While Rosekind has done unimpeachable work in the past, when one gets paid for their research the "buyer" of that research often wants the answer they believe they are paying for. A lot comes down to the integrity of the researcher. I would like to believe in this case, being familiar with the parties, that the results will be presented unvarnished and JB will have to accept them (though have the right not to publicize them),

I also would be careful about assuming what, if any, "penalties" will be meted out to JB.
