Those quotes were all one or two line SUMMARIES of earlier research/studies.
Ok, so..?? I don't see any consensus there, anyone reading those "quotes" of yours will have impression that there research in progress, some seem skeptical, some see some faults (some see faults in the round dial too), see need for my work but no one blasts tape as unacceptable, NASA is clearly favorable and so are others. Situation is more like 50-50, undefined. Also these are all fairly old quotes, anything new, anything recent? Clearly if some would find the tape so objectionable that would be a flurry of research, studies, simulations, culminating with some definite outcome - nothing of the sort is present.
