Icarus and Cap'n Midnight
I am afraid you're whistling in the wind. It seems the way of the Smiths is to enter into the fray and - particularly in the case of Smith the elder - to make various statements and accusations. However, when challenged to provide any evidence to back themselves up, they retreat silently into the murk from which they emanated.
The contradictions and inaccuracies in the NASH website remain uncorrected and unexplained. The fact that the website appears to contradict nearly everything that Dick Smith claimed when 'selling' NAS appears also to go unexplained. Mr Smith was vociferous in his unsubstantiated and false accusations and abuse on previous threads when questioned about certain aspects of the process. Thousands of words were written, but ever since he was asked to provide a single shred of evidence - he has become strangely silent.
Safety cases, the 'North American' model, the 'proven' (and yet unique) model, the ever-changing but ever vague 'timetable'.... a continuing litany of inconsistencies.
Perhaps the truth is out there. It just seems that those with answers are unwilling to state their case.
Sad.
